I had to compromise with myself when working on projects especially with the two major websites that I maintain. I enjoy working on video games and working on a vitual 3D world as a photo gallery for the family genealogical website gave me just that balance. The genealogical website although has many more articles it still needed to be maintained. The virtual 3D world is located at the genealogical website but the video and article is located at this website, and shows how it was created.

Finite State Machine

Published by Jesse Carpenter on Sun, 10/30/2011 - 14:26 in

The basic or simple finite state machine (FSM) is very useful in games. Programmers seem to give life to game objects with artificial intelligence (AI) embedded in the operating states of the FSM. On the internet and in many AI books, one can find information as to what a finite state machine is and how it works. There are many ways to write or code a FSM. Those who study game AI or academic AI, are familiar with the FSM.
