AI Game Development: Synthetic Creatures with Learning and Reactive Behaviors

Technically speaking, almost all the concepts are modeled with finite-state techniques explained progressively in their own detailed section:

  • Memories are gathered using statistics.

  • Feelings are expressed as a nondeterministic automaton.

  • Sensations are represented as fuzzy automata.

  • Emotions are fuzzy-state machines.

  • Mannerisms are selected by nested probabilistic automata.

  • Moods are modeled with nested states.

The system is hierarchical in that many components depend on each other. There are also components included within others, as depicted in Figure 42.1.
