Game AI in Delta3D

Abstract

Delta3D is a GNU-licensed open source game engine with an orientation towards supporting "serious games" such as those with defense and homeland security applications. AI is an important issue for serious games, since there is more pressur to "get the AI right," as oppossed to providing an entertaining user experience. We describe several of our near- and longer-term AI projects oriented towards making it easier eto build AI-enhanced applications in Delta3D.
