Interesting Read,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Game Development Essentials: Game Artificial Intelligence (Paperback)
This is one of three books that I purchased of the series. It starts off with an introduction of AI in games and is very well written. The book is structured very well and has nice images thrown in of various games that are being referred to.
As a bonus, the accompanying CD contains some of the code from the book.
