Is there any ready-to-use libraries for AI (ala sound libs or physics libs)?

Depends on the context :) I used to have a few pages bookmarked for Speech Processing that I came across when I started researching Natural Language Processing. I don't think that's what you mean though :D Not sure how you would apply using standard sound libs to AI since simulating ears doesn't even require a sound card. Or does it? hmmmmmm....


For physics that all depends on what you're looking for. A good place to start is http://www.mathtools.net (check in C,C++ -> Physics). If you don't find anything that sounds appealing head over to www.sourceforge.net and do a search for physics - you'll get a sizable list. Not all libs are the same and quite a few of them are implemented with simplicity in mind rather than "insert optimization here".


When looking for libs it's usually best to check SourceForge and FreshMeat before Google.

There are a fair number of machine learning libraries which I would consider to be as close to a general purpose AI library as you'll find. These include WEKA, Torch, pyml (in java, c++, and python respectively). Machine learning isn't that popular in games however (most games just use finite state machines and a*, which would barely deserve their own library). You might also check out the generation5 jdk which does include a* and finite state machines among a bunch of other things.
