Create intelligent NPCs. Master Finite State Machines (FSM), Behavior Trees, and Goal-Oriented Action Planning (GOAP) for dynamic game agents.
Game AI isn't ChatGPT; it's about decision making. This course teaches the architectures used for game characters. You will start with Finite State Machines (Patrol -> Chase -> Attack) and advance to hierarchical Behavior Trees for complex logic. Learn to use NavMesh for pathfinding and steering behaviors for organic movement. We also touch on Goal-Oriented Action Planning (GOAP) and Utility systems used in simulation games.
