Over my first two years at university my interest in AI for games was growing rapidly, this inspired me to base my final project around this topic. I decided to compare an AI method which i was familiar with (Finite State-Machines), to one which i new nothing about (Behaviour Trees), this meant i could learn a new technique and find out which one i preferred.

​

In this project i compared both methods efficiency, reliability & realism within the Unity Game Engine, the biggest challenge for me was learning the new AI technique and implementing it with the same functionality as the FSM, this led to many technical challenges which i overcame and it ended up providing me with extremely useful results.
