Unity provides game and app developers with a variety of tools to implement AI, from the basic techniques to cutting-edge machine learning-powered agents. Leveraging these tools via Unity's API or built-in features allows limitless possibilities when it comes to creating your game's worlds and characters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fourth edition with Unity will help you break down AI into simple concepts to give you a fundamental understanding of the topic to build upon. Using a variety of examples, the book then takes those concepts and walks you through actual implementations designed to highlight key concepts and features related to game AI in Unity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFurther on, you'll learn how to distinguish the state machine pattern and implement one of your own. This is followed by learning how to implement a basic sensory system for your AI agent and coupling it with a Finite State Machine (FSM).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNext, you'll learn how to use Unity's built-in NavMesh feature and implement your own A* pathfinding system. You'll then learn how to implement simple flocks and crowd dynamics, which are key AI concepts in Unity. Moving on, you'll learn how to implement a behavior tree through a game-focused example. Lastly, you'll apply all the concepts in the book to build a popular game.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat You Will Learn: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreate smarter game worlds and characters with C# programming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply automated character movement using pathfinding and steering behaviors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImplement non-player character decision-making algorithms using Behavior Trees and FSMs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuild believable and highly efficient artificial flocks and crowds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreate sensory systems for your AI with the most commonly used techniques\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstruct decision-making systems to make agents take different actions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplore the application of machine learning in Unity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho this book is for: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is intended for Unity developers with a basic understanding of C# and the Unity editor.
