Question about AI

Really didn't know where to put this...

I was wondering out of curiousity how the AI in spring is handled. Does the AI makes it calculations per frame? Or is it more abstracted then that?

You should certainly go to AI at the bottom of the forum index, heh heh..

btw, nice to meet you.

I'd go to the AI but thats for the development of the spring AI, not questions about it... right?

Either way, if its wrongly posted you'll just get it moved

it does indeed belong in the AI forum if its AI related. The AI forum isnt specifically for development.

I suggest you look at the emptyAI sourc code, and the IAIInterface.h and IGlobalAI.h files in spring.

Most (all) AIs do a bunch of calculations each frame, but it's not obligatory. It'd be totally possible to run additional threads in the background, or even communicate with a server process somewhere.

(off the top of my head thought: using an external server would make it "easy" to have coordinated AIs running on separate machines). s/easy/possible/ .

There are two reasons AIs tend to be per-frame:
- its easy to do like that
- it means that the AI's performance will be identical on any machine, regardless of frame-rate, and other processes running at the same time
