| BFG + SMD = WTF?? That was the most confusing thing I've read in a long time. |

| This is typical stuff you would delve into during the later years of working on a computer science degree. I personally encountered it all in a 400-level (senior year) "theory, languages, and automata" class. He's providing pretty much as simple of an overview as can be provided. Make sure you read the earlier articles first though. --- Michael Tanczos |

| " BFG + SMD = WTF?? That was the most confusing thing I've read in a long time. " I found it informative, and easy to read. however, I'm also taking a Discrete Mathematics course. We've only barely discussed the extreme basics of FSM's (basically, what was covered in the second article.. plus some other stupid shit.) .. which sorta sucks. shrug. i'm eagerly waiting the next article .. hopefully it'll be a bit longer (i was hoping article 3 would be the last ) |

| maybe xplain how it can relate to g-dev and a small demo can help. not all of us here are majors |

| "A more scientific name for it is FA - Finite Automaton (plural automata). The theory of Finite Automatons..." please... |

you say its automata not automatons then you immediately say automatons  |

| Hi all, I'm a second semester computer science student and this was the main topic of our theoretical computer science course during semester 1. I always thought it had nothing to do with real life (I mean games programing After that article I realized I was wrong... Isn't AI in many Ego Shooters basically a FSM? At least it seems to me. With an alphabet similar to: (enemy visible, enemy attacks, wounded, enemy dead, almost dead, ...) Good series, keep it up. Maybe some more code examples would help. EDIT: You could even extend the AI problem to NFAs by adding some amount of randomness I think, so the charcter soesn't always do the same thing.... --::[Madhed]::-- [edited by - MadHed on May 25, 2004 7:50:09 AM] |
