2D AI tutorial

You''re in luck. I actually just wrote one today.

I''m not sure exactly how understandable it is (it seems ok to me, but then I know what I know what I''m trying to say). I''d appreciate any feedback you have on it if you read it.

Read it here (link will open a new window)

Hope it helps

Its a great tutorial, though unfortunately its not exactly what i''m looking for, though it may help me understand things better

My overall system works by splitting the level up by the size of the screen, where each screen has pass flags for the N,S,E, and W sides. When a character passes through a side, the flag is set. My current problem is a bit more in-depth, the basic path of the character uses the screen sized grid system - which works fine, but now I have to work out how the characters decide on which platforms to jump on, and at the same time account for jump velocities, action automation, and dead-end re-routing. I''ll work it out sooner or later.

Thanks =)

I understand what you''re trying to do. I would try to impliment some way to have the AI guess what would happen if it jumped on a certain pad.

If you have some way for the jump pads to tell you what would happen at certain velocities and have the AI test out what happens and where it goes if it jumps at the max velocity it can make for the jump (assuming the AI has to accelerate). That way, the AI has at least some sort of idea if the jump pad is a good idea or not.

The jump pad idea is an interesting concept.
