First off, I just want to say that I really appreciate your responses and your time.

Now, as this doesn't seem to be a matter of designing either a BOT or its AI completely from scratch, would this be a project that could be completed by someone (myself) who has a relatively introductory knowledge of C++?

If yes, could someone tell me what specific aspects of development I should focus my time on researching and in your opinions, would you recommend any particular reference materials?

If no, I really appreciate your time and will pursue another solution.
