So this week I became a member sponsor on www.3dbuzz.com. The first thing I had a look at was their XNA Behaviour Programming videos, which are the first in their set on AI programming. However, not being particularly interested in XNA, I implemented the algorithms presented in the videos for Android.

Here’s a video of the demo running on my Nexus One:

Since I was on Android and only using the Android and OpenGL ES libraries, I had to write a lot of low level code to replace the XNA functionality that 3DBuzz’s videos rely on. I also had to implement an on-screen joystick. I might write up a couple of posts on the more interesting parts of the code (what is not in the videos) soon.

Thanks
Michael

Notes:

The 3DBuzz C++ videos include the following code:

main() {
   cout << "Hello World" << endl;
}

This code fails to compile on newer versions of Visual C++ and GCC. All that needs to be done is to specify that main will return an int, and then actually return one:

int main() {
   cout << "Hello World" << endl;
   return 0;
}

Of course, whether this actually needed a video is debatable!
