Description:
This course takes you through the most popular AI techniques used
for creating believable character behavior in contemporary
games.?With the help of practical workshops, you?ll learn how
non-player characters (NPCs) are programmed to chase, patrol,
shoot, race, crowd, and do much more.
The course begins by
delving into vector mathematics, which lies at the heart of
programming the movement of NPCs. It will introduce you to the
system of waypoints for moving characters around in an
environment and show you how to implement the Unity waypoint
system for racing with AI-controlled cars. You?ll study the graph
theory and the A* algorithm and apply them to develop
navmeshes as well as NPCs that can find their way around a game
environment. ?You?ll study the movement of groups of people
fleeing from danger to program an aquarium with autonomous
schooling fish. Once you?ve examined the different ways to move
NPCs around in your game environment, you?ll learn about their
thinking abilities and get hands-on with more workshops using
finite state machines and behavior trees.
The follow-along
workshops included in this course come with starter Unity asset
files and projects complete with?solutions. You will be able to
reinforce your learning by solving quizzes
and?challenging exercises.
By the end of this course, you?ll have
developed a broad understanding of AI in games, how it works, and
how you can use it in your projects. You?ll be equipped with a
toolset to explore all of the techniques presented in the course
in-depth to take your game environments to the next
level.
You may find an older version of Unity, which is Unity 2017
and Unity 2018 present a few times in the video, but don't worry
about it. Unity's releases are mostly backward compatible, so
there's not much breakage of code and will work fine in the
current versions as well.
