Ask the A.I. Guy
I've just noticed an interesting new feature over on Voodoo Extreme. It's a new column called Ask the A.I. Guy. Staring as the 'A.I. guy' is Paul Tozour, the lead programmer at ION Storm. The issues raised by reader questions are very interesting indeed. They range from learning in AI, to the flaws of scripting, and the impact of AI on scenarios and re-playability. The question about AI accelerators, however, needs clarifying a bit more. In my mind, there is no medium term need for such hardware. The whole point of graphics hardware is to free the processor: that's the A.I. accelerator! Besides, A.I. is at an early stage of development, and nothing is standardised. Things change from game to game, year to year. An accelerator at this stage would reduce the flexibility of the AI, and limit potential developments. Anyway, the article is thought proviquing, and a very good read. So why not take a look? |
