ximio · **Starting development of bot -** 25-05-2005

Hi, I'm a Spanish computer science student who has chosen to make a bot as his final project.

I've never done any game modding before, but my objective is to implement some AI algorithms on the bot so that it acts reasonably humanlike. My project director would also like to see some kind of cooperative strategies from the bots.

The first thing I have to decide is the game. I've been mainly looking into botman's HPB Half-Life 1 bot, but I've seen in this forum that there's some progress in Half-Life 2 bots. Half-Life 2 would obviously be much more impressive, but is it feasible? Are there enough examples for a newbie like me to get something done?

In case it's not feasible and I used Half-Life 1, I had considered basing my bot on botman's HPB template. Is this a good starting point? Do you recommend any tutorials/articles considering I basically know nothing on bot programming?

Any comments will be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.
