AI Research
Hi Alex
Thanks for your interest :) I am glad that I have found someone who may be able to somewhat guide me a bit, since I have a lot that I need to get through it seems :)
I dont think that my university will have much problem with the research being focused on games. My project leader is passionate about AI, so I think he will enjoy something interesting :)
I am well aware of the fact that I am going to be reading most of this year ;) The project may end up being a simple literature survey, since I don't know how much time I will have available to myself to actually do a lot of in depth testing. I would however, very much like to have a go at something :)
The next deadline for me to think about is the project proposal. That has to be in on April 11, 2002. The whole thing must be pretty much finished by Aug, Sep, since we have to work on presenting the project, cos we have to present the project at the end to a bunch of people :p
One of my concerns for the project is finding reliable sources. Since the project is an academic paper, the references need to be reliable. I am a bit worried that I will not find that much 'published' content on game AI etc. I am busy going through all of your links and stuff, they seem pretty good :)
One last question. I am studying full time at the moment, so time is going to be a factor in this project. Do you think that I should just do an investigation into the different approaches to AI in games, or should I go more indepth and focus on one problem, the way that u have?
I spose that will depend on how quickly I pick this stuff up, and if I have time ... anyway let me know what u think
Thanks a lot for your time! :)
James
