Do you recommend academic reading before any game related reading?
Author
Hi,
I'm planning on buying the Programming Game AI by Example by Mat Buckland, it has some very good/solid reviews.
But I would like to know if you think is better if I read first academic books on this subject...
Thanks :)
It's my experience that "academic books" (although I'm not sure which ones you are considering) may be a little thick on theory and thin on actual applicability.
Mat's book is excellent and would be a good start.
