If non-user-facing features are to be included in this list, I recommend integration of a unit testing framework. I am using it for the AI development, and it pays dividends. Integrates nicely with VS. What I am using as my simple test harness: https://dotnetfiddle.net/u8tCJ3 I won't commit this so ...

I propose two "capability areas" for AI. 1) "Team awareness" - each enemy will be aware of the actions of other enemies attacking the player's party 2) "Attacker memory" - each enemy will have access to the actions that they took in the last round - or possibly all roun...

Also posted a pull request that incorporates the scriptable AI for the IBx engine: https://github.com/IceBlinkEngine/IBx/pull/1 The "log" function causes an error in this version, but that is probably a Jint/Xamarin thing. The logger will need to be swapped out eventually anyway, though. S...

I STRONGLY recommend feature / bug tracking on GH for these reasons: - Standardized way of marking completeness and commenting on a bug/feature and watching its progress - Automated release notes - Code commits can be tied to a feature/fix so that code changes' purpose can be easily understood and r...

I can see that my idea of AI switching between melee and ranged attacks would have a rather large scope. As far as I can tell, there's a good bit of code structured around the idea of a creature being one or the other. There's only a single attack sound/sprite so it wouldn't make much sense for a ra...

The Toolset interface was relatively straightforward to tweak. Very little code to change: https://github.com/IceBlinkEngine/IB2Toolset/compare/master...grannypron:NewAI I have filed two pull requests for the two libraries. If you review and like where it is going, you can go ahead and merge them in...

You could also test the ScriptedAttaker without the UI change just by changing the cr_ai attribute to ScriptedAttacker in the creatures.json as well. The ai_script filename defaults to ai_script.js.

oh yeah & I started with the C64 copying those fortune teller or whatever programs line by line from inside of one of those magazines. Hooked ever since.

Sure just lmk if you have questions. A quick Google will give you info on the Factory Design pattern. It's shit simple. https://www.c-sharpcorner.com/article/factory-method-design-pattern-in-c-sharp/ Alright, so I got an implementation working with a simple script and here's what it would look like:...

I started by refactoring a little to suit the different kind of AI models. Preserved all existing code for the BasicAttacker & GeneralCaster, but moved them into a Factory pattern and added a ScriptedAttacker type. Integrated Jint and put some wrapping around it in an new Scripting namespace. No...

Yep I see them in there. Didn't know if people were using them, though. If there's a dropdown, I'm sure people are, though! Thanks! I will be sure not to disturb that logic.

So here are two things off the top of my head that I think I notice/see from the code that you maybe want to change a little (always leaving the option to use the default behavior alone, of course): - Creatures are either ranged or melee and can't switch between them, even when they suffer an attack...

Alright, let me take a crack at some AI and integrating Jint and we shall see how it goes. I am looking into utility-based AIs but not finding any great frameworks to steal. I'll keep trying - I hate rolling my own. For GitHub, the last SO answer here is a very nice tldr along with a link for more d...

Fantastic. AI sounds great. I'm no expert on it, though. I have worked with / am working with the DungeonCraft AI system (http://ua.reonis.com/) and from that work, I strongly recommend that you incorporate a scripting language to control AI. Since you are already into JSON, I will float Jint (https...

Hello, I'm interested in contributing to a thriving game engine community where I can add value. 10+ years of basic c# experience. Looking for opportunities to pitch in and help - do you have a bug/requested feature list somewhere? I'm having a little trouble with the IB2Engine GH build around Sharp...
