Competency aims

The aim of the course is that the student learn
to design and realize believable behavior and
intelligence in autonomous (non-player)
characters in 3D games. The student will gain
knowledge in different techniques for artificial
intelligence being popular in games. The course
also includes a theoretical part on image process
with the aim to provide the student knowledge in
handling textures in games but also to provide an
into to the computer vision course which will be
held in period 3.

Learning outcomes

After completing the course, the student is
expected to know and be able to apply popular
techniques for artificial intelligence when
creating believable behavior for non-player
characters in 3D environments. The student is
also expected to gain basic knowledge in image
processing.
