Unity provides game and app developers with a variety of tools to implement AI, from basic techniques to cutting-edge machine learning-powered agents. Leveraging these tools via Unity's API or built-in features allows limitless possibilities when it comes to creating game worlds and characters.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe updated fifth edition of Unity Artificial Intelligence Programming starts by breaking down AI into simple concepts. Using a variety of examples, the book then takes those concepts and walks you through actual implementations designed to highlight key concepts and features related to game AI in Unity. As you progress, you'll learn how to implement a finite state machine (FSM) to determine how your AI behaves, apply probability and randomness to make games less predictable, and implement a basic sensory system. Later, you'll understand how to set up a game map with a navigation mesh, incorporate movement through techniques such as A* pathfinding, and provide characters with decision-making abilities using behavior trees.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBy the end of this Unity book, you'll have the skills you need to bring together all the concepts and practical lessons you've learned to build an impressive vehicle battle game.\u003c\/p\u003eWhat you will learn\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnderstand the basics of AI in game design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreate smarter game worlds and characters with C# programming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply automated character movement using pathfinding algorithm behaviors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImplement character decision-making algorithms using behavior trees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuild believable and highly efficient artificial flocks and crowds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreate sensory systems for your AI world\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBecome well-versed with the basics of procedural content generation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplore the application of machine learning in Unity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eWho this book is for\u003cp\u003eThis Unity artificial intelligence book is for Unity developers with a basic understanding of C# and the Unity Editor who want to expand their knowledge of AI Unity game development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41078757195873,"sku":"9781803238531","price":38.86,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/5baa03f1f7449c8bbc127f43f990c6e8.png?v=1700716128","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781803238531-unity-artificial-intelligence","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
