Artificial Intelligence for Video Games

The goal of this course is to teach students how artificial inteligence techniques are implemented inside a video game.
To this aim, standard and advanced techniques will be discussed and implemented in a modern game engine.

The student must be able to describe in a proper, and critic, way algorithms and heuristic techniques used to implement artificial intelligence in a video game. These algorithms and heuristics, must then be put in the context of actual video games on the market. Moreover, the student must also be atle to apply all the techniques proposed by the course to design and implement the artificial intelligence for video game of average complexity.
