Chapter 8. Continuing with Intelligent Enemies

This last chapter continues with the previous one and completes the AI project by focusing on the theory and related coding underpinning an intelligent enemy. The enemy will demonstrate three main behaviors: patrolling, chasing, and attacking. In this chapter, we will dive into the following topics:

  • How to plan and code an AI system for enemy characters

  • How to code Finite State Machines (FSMs)

  • How to create the line-of-sight functionality
