M.A.I.L -> A.I.D.S

Ok, just to tell you, do not let yhe blog title make you think this has anything to do with mail or AIDS. No, you won't get AIDS through the mail. 'Nuff said.

Anyhow, I started up a sideproject, MAIL (Modular Artificial Intelligence Lab) to experiment with purely AI combat, yesterday, and I decided I'd release an early tech demo of it…

Essentially, it's a system in which different AI modules are pitted against each other in combat. Currently, the AI is a bit lacking, but I currently have AIs for: Infantry, AT, Snipers, Mounted Guns, and Tanks.

Here's the link to the download…

Eventually, I plan on transforming this engine into AIDS (Artificial Intelligence Deathmatch System). Ideally, the resulting game will be centered around players placing AI in formations at game start, giving them objectives, and watching the AIs battle with no in-game input. There may be head to head online play, campaigns and more, but that'll be far away.

Also, since the game is modular, if you would be interested in creating a module for use in the game, contact me.

/Edit

Forgot to say, in the 'game', you can cycle through rooms with spacebar, and toggle zoomed view with enter.

looks pretty sweet, and it's funny how both AIDS and AIDS have death connected one way or another

Thanks… and yeah, it will be named aids for ore than one reason…

Also, I've made a few updates (no download yet), and I've turned it into a screensaver.
