Winbiko	If I were to make a serious AI library would anyone use it? Things that would be in it: Mobs learning from: you each other Mobs Hunting in packs. Mobs having quarrals with other mobs. Mobs breeding and passing learned behaviors to the next generation.

ACWraith	If the AI library was extremely customizable and didn't hog too much cpu time, I would give it a shot.

ADDiCt	I seriously doubt that you could make this, with you being a newbie and all. But if you could, I'm sure there would be people to DL it. I started on something exactly like this but I am to deep in my other project.

Winbiko	hehe me a newbie heheheehe. Look I may be new to the byond community.. but I have been coding for 7 years... which means I have been coding sense I was 9 I know: C++ C Java Perl Pascal Pipes VB Basic (hehe) ASM for the SNES ASM for the ti-86. So picking up DM wasnt really hard.

ADDiCt	The feel free to prove me wrong (Coding in all those languages don't really change your status here. Your still a newb)

Winbiko	ok :) we will see.

Loduwijk	I agree, it would have to be very customizable, as a library such as that would not have a use in a lot of games unless you made everything modifyable.

Things that would be in it:
Mobs learning from:
you
each other
Mobs Hunting in packs.
Mobs having quarrals with other mobs.
Mobs breeding
and
passing learned behaviors to the next generation.

That sounds like a very difficult challenge, but if it could be done then it's definitely something people would want to use.
This is the sort of project that's perfect to take up in BYOND; even if you fail to make the AI library you wanted, you might have enough code to put together really brilliant monster AI for a game you're inspired to make along the way. It's kind of a win-win.

Exadv1	That sounds a lot like my third challenge. Although his seems slightly simpler and less advanced. If you want you can read about it at BYONDBwicki and starting points. there is a link to it near there.
