Artificial Intelligence in Video Games: Towards a Unified Framework by Firas Safadi, Raphael Fonteneau, Damien Ernst

“…Since video game AI is often specifically designed for each game, video game AI tools currently focus on allowing video game developers to quickly and efficiently create specific AI. One issue with this approach is that it does not efficiently exploit the numerous similarities that exist between video games not only of the same genre, but of different genres too, resulting in a difficulty to handle the many aspects of a complex environment independently for each video game. …”
