[gameprogrammer] RES: Re: Math and Game question

I'll try to understand what they're doing and I'll give you all some
feedback about it. (fail or success)

Thanks a lot,

Have a look at TORCS http://torcs.sourceforge.net and RARS 
http://rars.sourceforge.net/

RARS is a racing simulation where all the cars are AI controlled. You 
don't race yourself, instead you write your own AI module and have the 
simulator race for you, against other AI cars you put in the race. TORCS 
claims "This concept is directly inspired from RARS.". In reality it 
seems to be the same, except a human can race with the AI cars.

I know you're writing your own game, and the reason I suggest looking at 
these is to look at the API they provide to people to write their own AI 
bots. You can't go wrong suppling the same data in your own API for the 
AI cars.

I haven't actually used either of these, but I remember seeing RARS 
years ago. Luckily I managed to find it after a few searches on google. 
I hadn't seen TORCS before, but I had seen RARS, and from memory there 
was a tutorial on how to write a basic AI bot, so if you can find that, 
then you have some info on what kind of info an AI driver needs, and 
hopefully how to write a basic one.

good luck!

Andy
