This is the first textbook dedicated to explaining how artificial intelligence (AI) techniques can be used in and for games. After introductory chapters that explain the background and key techniques in AI and games, the authors explain how to use AI to play games, to generate content for games and to model players.

The book will be suitable for undergraduate and graduate courses in games, artificial intelligence, design, human-computer interaction, and computational intelligence, and also for self-study by industrial game developers and practitioners. The authors have developed a website (http://www.gameaibook.org) that complements the material covered in the book with up-to-date exercises, lecture slides and reading.

Description de la librairie

Pulpfiction Books is one of Western Canada's largest independent bookstores. We maintain a basic stock of approximately 100,000 titles in three different Vancouver neighborhood locations and most days see several hundred new books added to the shelves. In addition to full runs of reading copies by most major science fiction, fantasy, and mystery authors, we carry a wide assortment of contemporary fiction, literature, books on art, architecture, cultural studies, philosophy, science, music, travel writing, cookbooks, poetry, drama, and most other major subject fields. We travel regularly throughout North America, sourcing rare and hard-to-find titles. We buy books every day. No appointment is ever required to sell books to us. While the bulk of our purchases consists of recent trade and mass market fiction and nonfiction, we are always interested in purchasing antiquarian stock, particularly in the visual arts, architecture, and Northwest Coast art and literature. Our shop website, www.pfbvan.ca, gives more details about how we make our buying decisions.
