Now with AI!


I finally finished a AI for my game Dots In Space...! The game has a good amount of resemblance to the Worms games but it is in space and gravity of planets and the sun are affecting projectiles.

The idea for the AI was pretty simple, it should not calculate the shots and instead shoot and then adjust based on where it flies to.

Turns out that is much harder then it sounds, while I tried to get AI sane it almost drove me insane. It is now pretty complex and even has basic memory.

There are now 3 difficulties you can choose for the AI, it is default on with Normal difficulty and will shoot as soon as you take your first shot like a real gentleman. You can simply switch if off in the menu for local multiplayer.

New are also a option for indestructible other planets and the option that planets rotate around the sun in both directions.
