Abstract:
Artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized information technology. The new economy of information technology has shaped the way we are living. The game industry is one of the major components of technology associated with human being. However, there is little understanding on the intelligent agents responsible for the development of games. The purpose of this study is to investigate the artificial intelligence games and intelligent agents used to design smart games. The history of games, the challenges of technology change, and the trends in gaming are discussed in the literature review. The study is also to provide additional information on the system overview, design, game theory, game genres, trends, current issues in gaming industry and implementation of AI in gaming.
Introduction:
The field of game AI has existed since the creation of the earliest video games in the 1970 's. The field is evolving rapidly, setting new standards for computer hardware engineering and establishing benchmarks for future game industry production. In the past few years, sophisticated game AIs that are more entertaining than simple video game AIs of the past have emerged and dominated the market. As 3D rendering hardware improves and as the high-resolution quality of game graphics have become the de facto industry standard, game AI has increasingly become one of the critical factors determining a game 's success. Programmers dedicated to just game AI are now an integral part of the core design group.
Programming game AI is one of the most challenging enhancements that a game developer can engineer; at the annual Game Developer Conference an increasing number of presentations are concerned with AI techniques. The real-time performance requirements of computer game AI and the demand for humanlike interactions, appropriate animation sequences, and internal state simulations for populations of scripted agents have impressively
