Game developers will use this book to gain a basic knowledge of programming artificial intelligence using Unity and C#. You will not be bored learning the theory underpinning AI. Instead, you will learn by experience and practice, and complete an engaging project in each chapter. AI is the one of the most popular subjects in gaming today, ranging from controlling the behavior of non-player characters to procedural generated levels. This book starts with an introduction to AI and its use in games. Basic moving behaviors and pathfinding are covered, and then you move through more complex concepts of pathfinding and decision making. What You Will Learn Understand the fundamentals of AI Create gameplay-based AI to address navigation and decision-making problems Put into practice graph theory and behavior models Address pathfinding problems Use the A* algorithm, the deus ex machina of pathfinding algorithms Create a mini stealth game Who This Book Is For Developers and programming enthusiasts with a basic knowledge of Unity and C# who want to understand and master the foundations of artificial intelligence in games

游戏开发者将通过本书获得使用Unity和C#编程人工智能的基本知识。你不会无聊地学习支撑人工智能的理论。相反，你将通过经验和实践来学习，并在每一章完成一个有吸引力的项目。人工智能是当今游戏中最流行的主题之一，从控制非玩家角色的行为到程序生成的关卡。本书首先介绍了人工智能及其在游戏中的应用。涵盖了基本的移动行为和寻路，然后是寻路和决策的更复杂概念。你将学到什么 了解人工智能的基本原理 创建基于游戏的人工智能，以解决导航和决策问题 将图论和行为模型付诸实践 解决寻路问题 使用A*算法，即寻路算法的神器 创建一个小型隐身游戏 本书适用对象 具有Unity和C#基础知识的开发者和编程爱好者，希望了解并掌握游戏中人工智能的基础知识
