I almost forgot to answer this, I had no intention to sound mysterious. My job is to make autonomous avatars (also called NPCs or 'bots') for a new MMO platform called Blue Mars. The immediate goal is to make them more interesting, intelligent and interactive than the zombie bots currently populating such worlds. That is a pretty easy target. The ultimate goal is to make them actually seem intelligent and indistinguishable from real players or even replace a real player when he/she is not online. I've been given a practically free hand in how I think this is accomplished best. I've only just started laying the groundwork, but already there are some results that people are excited about. So far so good. Mark _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list [email protected] http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
