Good written AI tutorials?

I'm curious if there is any good written JASS AI tutorials? They can be in English, Finnish, Swedish, French, German (or even Russian if my cousin is in the mood of translating), but I prefer English. :) If you know good ones, please post a link or send it as an attachment in a reply.

I'm planning on gathering known AI info now. :mtk:

Thanks in advance,

Tommi

Well i see you're looking for a "AI" tutorials, but actually I don't remember seeing any really good ones, ever. Normally you just learn Jass, and then take a look into the common.ai, and then take a look at other ai files.

But the best "Jass" tutorial i ever read is this one:

http://www.wc3campaigns.com/forums/s...=jass+tutorial

It was the tutorial where i learned jass from, but it's WAY OLD, heh, in fact, it's so old that i had to go through many search-pages to find it again. I think someone should tauch it up, and submit it to the new tutorial system. Honestly, the only jass tutorials there already are some tutorials dealing special jass problems, but there are no "general" jass tutorials there.

Starcaftfreak and me are also compiling a list of JASS/AI discoveries and important threads here at the moment.
Because all the JASS knowledge is spread it will still take some time though.

Great thing, PitzerMike!

I am specifically looking for AI tutorials, because I am interested in AI architectures, AI design paradigms, important AI hints (e.g. how to code some special AI behaviours) and that kind of stuff. Not single functions, except as a part of a greater whole.

Actually we would also welcome everyone who is willing to help us with that.

@Tommi: Do you need general AI info or WC3 related info? If you need general info on AI, you should search the internet with google. Info on WC3 AI can be found in this forum.

The best teacher for WC AI scripts are the AMAI scripts of course.

WC3 related only. What I meant with architectures & stuff is that normally the AIs that I have seen are melee AIs. However, AIs are very useful in campaigns, too, but I've not seen very many of them. Campaign AIs can differ very much from melee AIs and have very specific purposes.

Cheers,

Yeah, I thought so. I'll try to delve into AIAndy's workings, and see what I learn. Advanced AI scripting seems to be quite rare otherwise. emote_confused
