	There are currently two possibilities, either write a Lua AI (see below) or use the [[ AI:Shard\|Shard AI]] and write your lua-code for it. Using Shard has the benefit, that it is game-independant and the code is only executed on one machine, while a Gadget AI has to run on every computer.

	* This brings up the problem that AIs can "~~accidently~~" cheat or even move units of the enemy! It is up to the AI writer to avoid that. All AI players of the same type also share the same variables and tables. One way to avoid that is to put everything into a teamdata[teamID] table.
