| As Autumn settles in, AI Factory
welcomes you to the third of our quarterly newsletters. This issue
switches from game competitions and chess to address two major generic
topics in the creation of game engines: tree search is certainly a
key technology, which is hard to avoid in games programming, while
hill-climbing is conceptually simpler, but fraught with dangers for
the games programmer. These are techniques that require some rigor
to use well. Detailed in the round-up, company activity this quarter
has seen the roll-out of another new product, which is now on worldwide
sale. |
