Hi!
I'm a really big fan of racing and I just love those games. I'm starting to
program games now and I think a racing game is the easier kind (am I
wrong?), since RTS and FPS requires more advanced AI and other stuffs.
I was thinking about an AI cheater, every track would have a hidden map that
would tell the AI agent what is the best way to go. I was looking for some
pathfinding algorithm but it wouldn't be that efficient and would take a lot
of CPU usage.
So, it would be way better if I process the track before starting the race
and generate this "cheat map", and this way my AI cars would try to move to
the positions with better scores in the map.
I really would like to know if any of you had ever did something like that
and if it would work.
Maybe a FSM would help me to process the track, but I have to consider
curves, its tangency, max speed allowed, terrain height maps, terrain
attrition, and of course it has to know how to move backward if it collides
with a wall. - It is not as easy as I thought :)
Thanks a lot,
Dirso

Hi Dirso,
I think it depends alot on the dynamics of your game but for regular
racing, i think it'd be way valuable to talk to a race car driver to
get some tips on how to be a better racer (take inside lane etc).
Another thing would be to watch some races and get a feel for how good
drivers drive competitively.
I'm not sure if there's any pre-built algorithms for a racing game or not
though
