Getting from A to B
Last summer, Bungie's Damián Isla gave a talk at the Artificial Intelligence and Interactive Entertainment Conference entitled "Dude, where's my Warthog? - From Pathfinding to General Spatial Competence'. We don't have audio of the talk - but the slides were pretty fascinating in their own right. If you're interested in the techniques Bungie uses to make your enemies seem smarter, and more aware of their surroundings... give this a read! Some of the multistep slides are presented here as animated gifs; they're labeled as such. If you see such a label, you should be patient an allow the image to fully load; they range in size from a couple of hundred K to about a megabyte, and you'll miss some fun stuff if you page past them too quickly. If you find the in-page slide too hard to read, there's a link to a larger version at the bottom of each page. Thanks to Damián for allowing us to host this - and to Veegie and Zechs GX for pointing it out in the first place! (Louis Wu 11:13:48 UTC)
