Hi Sam: A couple of thoughts that I have:
Neural networks seem to have an existing implementation, albeit I assume it's not where we want it right now. Check out: /cel/trunk/include/propclass/neuralnet.h under the cel trunk. Also, I've looked in the past at the pathfinding implementation, and currently, it's an A* implementation, iirc. I know that a year or so ago, there was a big drive to try and make it faster, because the original implementation was quite slow. However, I don't currently see the same commenting in the source files (check out cel/trunk/plugins/propclass/pathfinder/pathfinderfact.h/.cpp in the repos) as previously. This leads me to believe that the implementation has been cleaned up somewhat. But, anyway, it might be a good place to start if you want to look into the code a little and see what's all there. ~Scott Thus Spoke smd...@student.cs.york.ac.uk: > Hello again group, > Sorry to double post, but I wanted to make sure it was on here that I am > unfortunately going to be away from my computer for just over a week now. > This obviously is unfortunate time with the GSoC application period > beginning next week, but it could not be avoided. > > Please can anyone with any further points or queries regarding AI in CEL > keep posting, I will be very interested to hear everyone's opinion upon my > return and will look to apply everyone's thoughts and wishes in my final > application. > > Kind Regards, > Sam, > > > >> 2009/3/19 <smd...@student.cs.york.ac.uk>: >> >>> Hello Group, >>> This is my first post to the group but I have been following the project >>> for the past month or so and have discussed with some of you already the >>> potential for this project. >>> >>> My name is Sam Devlin, and I post in your forum and irc channel as SamD. >>> I >>> would like to undergo a project in AI as part of the Google Summer of >>> Code.
