I think that this kind of experiences is excellent because this is exactly the level for Bloc.

Stephan you can take a lot of the tests I wrote because I did it test first to see :) And yes it would be nice to have play with bloc to do that. Arghhhh too many exciting things to do.

Re: [Pharo-users] Looking for game state

by Stephane Ducasse

BTW I read one in french. I implement a forward chainer (I should implement now a backwrd chainers) Then I want to implement a fuzzy logic system. After I had a path finder (like in the current book I'm readin). Then I started to read the collective intelligence book and started to implement it in Pharo.

One step at a time. Let us clean and build a nice workflow and then we will see :).

I decided to go with my kids to go for a hunter in Monster Hunters. Guillermo the book I'm reading is Programming Game AI by example. I will implement the state machine and turn that into a nice chapter. Then since I wanted to code path discovery (I proposed the topics to students from Prague) I will probably also implement this.

Passing context class with GTSpotter

by Peter UhnÃ¡k

Hi, I'm extending Spotter and wonder how I can achieve the following. I have some domain model, for the sake of example let's imagine Item" and "Container" classes; where "Container" can contain other Items or Containers. Then I have a custom Spotter wrapper class that shows the initial Spotter cadidates and can perform something with the spotted objects. Object subclass: #MySpotterModel slots: { #container. #something }. MySpotterModel>>doSomethingWith: item something doSomethingTo: item MySpotterModel>>spotterContentFor: aStep <spotterOrder: 10> ^ aStep listProcessor title: 'Items'; candidatesLimit: Float infinity; allCandidates: [ container items ]; actLogic: [ :item | self doSomethingWith: item. aStep exit ]; matchSubstring So far so good. Now the problem is, that I would like to "dive" (right arrow) into a container further, so there would be (notice that I am already duplicating behavior) MySpotterModel>>spotterContentFor: aStep <spotterOrder: 10> ^ aStep listProcessor title: 'Items'; candidatesLimit: Float infinity; allCandidates: [ self items ]; actLogic: [ :item | "self doSomethingWith: item. "<<<<<<<------------ aStep exit ]; matchSubstring So my question is ... how can I "pass along" a custom instance? Thanks, Peter

I found this paper some time ago, they modeled the AI of a tank using statecharts. http://www.adinfo.qc.ca/pdf/publication/models2007tankwars.pdf On Fri, Nov 3, 2017 at 11:11 AM Ben Coman <btc(a)openinworld.com> wrote: > On Fri, Nov 3, 2017 at 4:59 PM, Stephane Ducasse <stepharo.self(a)gmail.com> > wrote: > >> Hi >> >> I'm reading a nice book explaining Game AI logic and it uses state >> design patterns and I would like to take it as an example for a future >> book on AI in the future >> >> They have two little actors talking via a a queued message list.

Hi, Interested too :) > Le 3 nov. 2017 Ã 09:59, Stephane Ducasse <stepharo.self(a)gmail.com> a Ã©crit : > > Hi > > I'm reading a nice book explaining Game AI logic and it uses state > design patterns and I would like to take it as an example for a future > book on AI in the future I think it also apply to workflow engine. In the Workflow package, when running workflows in the engine (in a frame), an activity (part of the project graph) is activated (giving an activation). I think that activations are represented as a game state (completion propagates tokens according to conditions). My understanding is not perfect though. I will send something about the Workflow package next week I hope. Could be nice to uniformise workflow for business processes but also for more general Â« processes Â» like game AI. (on the pic, I see a process definition and the game is about its realization/activation :) ). Cheers, CÃ©drick > > They have two little actors talking via a a queued message list.
