About this Item

Abnutzung / Risse - leicht. Learn to make games that are more fun and engaging! Building on fundamental principles of Artificial Intelligence, Funge explains how to create Non-Player Characters (NPCs) with progressively more sophisticated capabilities. Starting with the basic capability of acting in the game world, the book explains how to develop NPCs who can perceive, remember what they perceive, and then continue in the game play to think about the effects of possible actions, and finally learn from their experience. Funge considers the system architecture and explains how to implement potential behaviors (both reactive and deliberate) for intelligent and responsive NPCs allowing for games that are more fun and engaging. Emphasizing enduring design principles, Funge covers the basics of Game AI and provides a clear, easy to read introduction that beginning programmers and game designers will enjoy.

Store Description

B�cher kaufen und verkaufen an einem Ort, schnell und ohne Aufwand ? so lautet unser Bookbot Erfolgskonzept. Mit unserem innovativen Konzept machen wir mit Bookbot den Online-Buchhandel nachhaltiger und bringen hochwertige, gebrauchte B�cher antiquarisch in den Umlauf. Mit der Leidenschaft f�r B�cher, dem Wunsch ihren Lebenszyklus zu verl�ngern und dabei gleichzeitig die Umweltbelastung zu reduzieren, hat Dominik Gazdo? Bookbot gegr�ndet. Im klaren Fokus stehen dabei Kundenkomfort und Benutzerfreundlichkeit. Unsere Plattform verspricht Leser*innen eine breite Auswahl sowie einen sicheren Kaufprozess. Von Bestsellern �ber Klassiker bis hin zu Nischenliteratur bietet wir auch lesefreudigen �sterreicher*innen eine wahre Schatzkiste zu fairen Preisen. Im Gegensatz zu herk�mmlichen Verkaufsplattformen gehen wir einen Schritt weiter, indem wir den gesamten Verkaufs- und Versandprozess �bernehmen ? angefangen beim professionellen Abfotografieren der B�cher bis hin zur Ermittlung eines fairen Preises sowie der Kommunikation mit potenziellen K�ufer*innen. Verk�ufer*innen schicken lediglich ihre Buchsch�tze an uns und warten, bis diese neue Besitzer*innen finden und das Entgelt bei ihnen eintrudelt. Die breitgef�cherte Auswahl an Buch-Genres reicht von Klassikern, Bestsellern �ber alte Sch�tze und kultigen Comics bis hin zu Fachpublikationen. Wir bieten hunderttausende Titel aller Genres in vielen Sprachen, meist in perfektem Zustand an. Bei �lteren oder besch�digten B�chern finden sich online detaillierte Bilder des Zustands auf unserer Website. Wir sind stolz, bereits 200.000 gl�ckliche Bookbot-Kund*innen an Bord zu haben und bieten damit eine breite Community an vielen potentielle K�ufer*innen. Nach gelungenen Markteintritten in Tschechien, Deutschland und der Slowakei, sind wir nun auch in �sterreich t�tig.
