AI on C++

[Ball00]

Greetings all! I played some time and have studied Wesnoth, and I write on C ++. I have the purpose, it is connected with university, to write an artificial intellect on C ++. Whether there is an opportunity of what the artificial intellect written by me on C ++, will be in the official version of game Wesnoth if it will be good enough?

[Ball00]

To write AI on Python I have no an opportunity and time as Python I did not study it and accordingly I do not have time for its studying.

Sure, if you write a very powerful or interesting AI it could become part of the official version.

you might want to have a look at [w]SummerOfCodeIdeas[/w] it's not about C++ AI specifically, but there are some good hints at what sort of AI we would be interested in...

[Caligo]

I am also interested in writing an AI for Wesnoth. I played the game quite a bit a couple of years ago, and over the past couple of days I had a refresher course (definitely looks nicer then I remember).

I have some ideas, but its getting late to post anything elaborate (it may require pictures). I just wanted to throw my hat into the ring so to speak.

Cheers,
Caligo

The nearest week I shall lay out on a forum methods and variants of parts of my version AI on C ++.

[Ball00]

I have absolutely forgotten about the main question: honesty AI. On how many AI should be fair?

Why don't use the C ? It's also good.

(Yes, I don't know programing in C++^^)

The GAME is written in C++ and it wold be difficult to write the Game in two different languages...

Because C is not object-oriented. If you look through the Wesnoth source code you'll notice that we take advantage of C++ features (templates, Object Oriented Programming, operators overload,...) all over the place.

[Boucman]

C is a subset of C++ (yeah, I know it's more like the other way round, but ok)

you coulod write some C++ in pure C style, but that is frowned upon in the wesnoth community. We try to de real OO programming and use some advanced C++ features when needed.

C would probably be much harder to program, because it's a language that does not deal well with complex data structures and complex programs. The simple set of features of C means that the programmer's mind has to think a lot to handle basic concepts. By providing advanced tools, C++ frees the programmers's brain of all sorts of problems, allowing him to focus on more advanced coding structures, which leads to transforming complex problems into manageable pieces easily

Ok, thank you.

So I will learn the C++^^

[Boucman]

C++ is not C on steroïds... it's much more than that.

C is a functional language
C++ is object oriented and we use that heavily. Don't just learn the language, practice. It takes quite some time to master...

[AI]

C is not a functional language, it is a procedural, imperative language. Lisp and Haskell are functional languages. The point still holds though.

[King of Polo's heart]

First, thanks to all.

So programming is like Tae-kwon-doe, to be a master you must always practice...


I think it's because you must take the goods customs, isn't it? Like the ";" in C...
