speaking of AI's which is what Jim is talking about (I have worked for two  
game design companies and with a couple others including all in play) did 
anyone see jeopardy and the IBM challenge with Watson? 

all I can say is WOW, that machine kicked booty 

and it would have done better if they had done the algorithm so it herd the 
other contestants answers I bet... 

a machine, a voice actuated machine that could run a jeopardy board like a tick 
tack toe game, whew

  I think what you are looking for is artificial inteligence.

    Hi, 

    I'm not sure how to ask this question since I don't have the background 
yet. When you have a program that is playing a game, let's say a simple game, 
like TicTacToe, and it tries to figure out what the best move is, what is that 
whole subject called? Or when you have a game where you are moving two people 
around and you don't want them to run into one-another, is that the same 
subject? 

     

    Thanks.
