Animated impostors manipulation for real-time display in games design

Abstract

This paper describes a system platform for animated impostors manipulation for real-time display in games design. Our "agent common environment" provides built-in commands for perception and for acting, while the in-between step of reasoning and behavior computation is defined through an external, extendible, and parameterized collection of behavioral plug-ins. Finally we introduce concrete case studies that demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach. © 2008 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
