About AI: AI is pretty limited as it is at the moment. MUDs with
NPCs at the moment seem pretty lifeless, because most NPCs simply
stand there, unmoving.
I was thinking of implementing AI based on the following. The first
implementation will be (egoistic as I am) for my MUD, i.e. incompatible
with Circle. However, I think I'll then make a patch for Circle.
The basic AI for villagers as I planned is based on:
- day/night cycle
- has 4 'waypoints'
+ sleep room
+ live room
+ work room
+ relax room
- accompanying the rooms are echos to display
This is not very much, I agree, but it brings a bit more of life into
the world and is pretty generic.
However, due to time constraints, ETA of a patch will not be before
next year :( (yeah, hate myself for having to work instead of MUDding ;) )
