Game Design with AI

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become an increasingly important part of game design in recent years. AI can be used to create more realistic and engaging non-player characters (NPCs), procedurally generated content, and balance games in a way that have never been seen before. This creates new challenges and rewards for both the players and the game designers. But what does the future of game development look like now with AI? To answer that we must look at the historically context and decipher the different kinds of AI already being used in popular games today. Space Invaders: The First AI Game You remember playing Space Invaders as a kid and being amazed by the way the aliens moved and reacted to your shots, if not you might have played another similar arcade game. Well Space Invaders was the first time people had ever seen artificial intelligence (AI) used in a video game, and it was a revelation. The aliens in Space Invaders moved in a variety of patterns, and they would speed up as the game progressed. They would also fire back at you, making the game more challenging. But even though it was difficult, you couldn’t get enough of it. You loved the feeling of accomplishment that came from defeating wave after wave of aliens. <a href="https://medium.com/@walter.toriola/game-design-with-ai-021f1c682cfb">Website</a>
