  • I’m not sure who will find this interesting. This is an AI analysis of a ten year old videogame. This entire endeavor will sound absurd to people familiar with the game in question, and hopelessly esoteric to those that aren’t. Still, I’m putting this up in case there is someone else out there who is just as peculiar as I am, in that I find this sort of thing intensely compelling.

Analyzing the AI Bot Library from the Quake 3 Source Code — AiGameDev.com

  • Quake 3 Arena makes an interesting example as it is fully open-source (except the tools), and it’s a great example of a turn-of-the-century AI engine design! Seriously though, the code contains a feature-complete death-match bot AI written in plain-old C; it’s surprisingly easy to follow when you understand the syntax of the language.

    century but in the 12th century, while it was being built. Everyone
    was busy carving one stone here and another stone there, with some invisible
    architect getting everything to fit. The mood was playful, yet there
    was a palpable reverence in the air. "We are not scanning all those
    books to be read by people," explained one of my hosts after my talk.
    "We are scanning them to be read by an AI."
