LOL!

Is it really that similar to the Star Wars type? If it is we can change it.

I currently have several design document like docs, they will soon be available publically.

Also, I have a tendency to get ideas at midnight so I usually write them cryptically in my notebook. I'll decipher some of the ideas soon and write them up.

Of course we'll start with simple interaction. Actually the first type tests will be simple moving around! Then ones like follow, and flee from and other rudementary AI states.

Look at OpenSteer for a lib that handles several types of path-finding. (http://www.red3d.com/cwr/steer/ for the documentation).

The applets are actually very interesting

[jesterKing]

The demos are actually quite illustrating. THis might help you building the ALRS (or whatchamcallit).

Thank you jesterKing for that link, though I get an error when I run steertest (GL_STACK_OVERFLOW).

I have decided to temporarily use hard-coded logic instead of scripts, so I can test the sub systems and such.

Everyone hang tight, we will have a website ready within a week.

Wow, this is going quite fast!
and i may be a little late, but here is a link to Russel Smith's thesis....
you might want to check it, it should have interestting content about "learning" for virtual caracters. It might not be completely related but I htought I'd just give you a link and let you guys check it
Oh, BTW, it's by the guy who made ODE i think...

This looks so damn interesting and exciting, I am not a programmer or python coder, but if there is a way I can help let me know, this would be an awesome tool for Blender.

Woa! Much better site !

[mr_rob]

Kino did a great job on the site. PHPX is a nice content management system, isn't it?

Hell Ya ! Heavens Yes ! I am glad I found out about it from your site I am now using it post haste It is clean and small.

Cheers to Kino ! Now we just need a beta for your program to go along with the site

Thanks really happy you like it

I'm working on an alpha version, hopefully we can get it finished inside this week.

We've decided to use Python and make ARLS inside Blender. Doing so has a great number of advantages. This way we already have a window and GL subsystem as well as the great mesh and object code.

So all you Python programmers out there, please help!

I think I should post something in the Python forum too.

Sounds outrageous! I'll be a'watchin from the sidelines as usual ;P. Really exciting, my gosh, Blender is exploding, but not running out of fuel at all, just exploding with energy, how cool!

Love Ingie
