Giles's thoughts

Needs an introduction explaining what a state-machine is and how Oolite uses them in its AI.

Also how AI receive messages (in the form of strings) and processes messages about every five seconds (depending on the pauseAI set), except when asked to react to a certain message.

A simple state machine should be given as an example and then shown as a property list.


Note that I'm likely to expand the use of AI in Oolite:- ship pilots will also have AI which will receive copies of messages sent to the ship's AI, but pilots AI's will perform a more 'strategic' role.

Hmm.. I did refer somewhere to AIreference.htm residing in the oolite folder, that file contains a reasonably coherent explanation on AI-states and messages.

'AddFuel #' ... is it not 'awardFuel #'? Arexack Mo1:52AM 23jan06

Arexack's meddling

I just reorganised the entries into functional groups.

Should we keep this list format (for linking purposes) or replace the === with * for better overview?

I like it. it's better this way with the hypertext index than replacing them with * rows, I think. Murgh
