This book seeks to empower complete beginners or those with limited technical experience to design interesting A.I.characters for their games that can compete in the ever-growing market today. This book is intended to be an easy-read and easy to digest for those with a light technical background.

This book aims to provide you with easy-to-understand explanations for A.I. concepts, inspiration for character design,and blueprints for designing interesting virtual agents– blueprints that we hope our readers will frequently will refer back to during their game development careers. This book contains very little source code, as we do not wish to restrict our designs to a single system or programming language. Further, many game development tools available today do not require the developer to write a single line of code.
