Hi,
I am an on/off Flash Programmer of 2 years and I have recently though of a game idea that I know I can do most of. The only problem is that I know nothing of AI further than some basic Boolean logic.
The game idea I have involves, you, a circle, moving through other circles to the end of a hall. Some of the other circles will be together in little circles, other will be of different sizes and speeds, with them moving to different spots. You could almost think of it as an overhead view of a high school hallway.
I figure there being at least 20 other circles there. I would like the other circles to have a certain way to path find:
-Have AI circles avoid other circles by moving a little away from the others.
-If they cant avoid, they will run into another circle.
-If the circle is bigger than what it ran into, it will push the other circle out of the way.
-If smaller, It will try to go around the bigger one.
-All the circles have a certain point they need to get to.
- they will not go directly to the point in a straight line fashion.
-They will instead, stick to the side of the “hall”, similar to driving, they will stick to their right side of the hall.
-If the way point is on the other hall side, it will stop/slow, to wait for an opening to cross to the other side of the hall, trying to avoid other AI circles.
-If the way point is on their side, they will turn to it and move to it, trying to avoid other AI circles.
Generally, If you just think of it as an overhead of a high school hallway, you will know what I mean.
If you could point me to a tutorial, or a certain concept, or anything, it would be greatly appreciated. If you really go out of your way though, I will kiss you feet and give you an E-Beer.
