Hi.
Welcome to this course on AI for beginners.
In it, we're going to be using the Unity Game Engine and C-sharp to recreate some of the most popular
AI techniques that are used in games.
To begin with, we start with the mathematics and also the physics of games, characters, and how you
can actually put that together in the Unity Game engine and what programming is going underneath.
Now, I won't lie.
It's not that simple that it's like a complete breeze.
So even if you do think you've got a good grasp on mathematics and physics, do just have a look at
those two sections before you jump into the others.
We're then going to look at one of the most popular or I should say the most popular algorithm for searching
through graphs and pathfinding and used all over the place within games, which is the A Star algorithm.
You may have heard of it.
If you haven't, you'll certainly understand it and know how its importance in this course content by
the end.
I've got a few tricks in store for you too.
I've got a vehicle system that you'll be able to program the movement of vehicles around a circuit and
a little bit of AI in there that will help them avoid each other and from crashing.
And if they do crash, they can reverse out of the issue.
I've also got goal orientated action learning, which is a concept that was used in the game fear and
it's probably one of my more favourite concepts for developing a full sort of behaviour and action list
of goals for my NP.
CS we're also going to look at behaviour, trees and a whole heap of other things that you will need
to get under your belt if you want to start creating game characters that can really fool the player
that they're alive.
So anyway, I hope that you really enjoy this course.
It has been a course that I've developed for many years and I'm now just updating it once again to the
recent version of Unity.
So you should find all fresh, new content ready to go for you.
So you're not going to learn much sitting here and listening to me waffle on.
So I will see you in the first tutorial where you can get your hands straight onto creating some game
characters.
