Artifical Intelligence (ai)

Table of Contents

Introduction

  This system implements pathing and decision systems for general-purpose traditional
artifical intelligence algorithms. This library will not support Machine-Learning Artificial
Intelligence (ML/AI). This artificial intelligence method only differs in static generation
between 2D and 3D. The solvers are dimension independent since they work on a graph.

General Process

Static

• generate a static navigation graph (sometimes called a NavMesh)

Tick

• resolve dynamic blockers
• update paths using dijkstra's algorithm
• apply rigid-body forces with constraints

The update loop for artificial intelligence should only update every n ticks. Where
n <= k, with k being the tick rate of the physics engine.
