Skirmish AIs are not loaded by the engine directly, but through an interface library.

This allows integration of AIs written in other languages.

An other idea made possible through this, is a library that can load AIs over the network,
have a look at the [[AI:Development:System|AI Interface system]] page.
and let them run on an AI server (NOTE: this is not planned, just a possibility).

They consist of code that adds enhances an interface in some way, and they are compiled directly into the AI library.
An example of one is the Legacy C++ Wrapper.
It makes the C/C++ AI Interface look like the old C++ AI interface of spring.
It is used by KAIK and AAI for example, and its code is compiled directly into these AI libraries.

AI interfaces and wrappers

Introduction

For an explanation of what AI interfaces and wrappers are, have a look at the AI Interface system page.

In active development

C & C++ AI Interface
~stable, basically just a stub plugin, forwarding the plain C AI Interface, do not use directly, but through a wrapper

Legacy C++ AI Wrapper
deprecated, ensures AIs written for springs old C++ AI interface can still be used

New C++ AI Wrapper
alpha, allows writing C++ AIs using the new OO structure and all possibilities of the C Interface

Java AI Interface
~stable, loads AIs written in any language supported by the JVM

ModularAI Wrapper
beta, simplifies handling of Units and provides a lot of common functionality for Java AIs

Spring PyAI Interface
beta, Python AI Interface

In inactive development

Mono AI Interface
beta, will support loading AIs written in a CLI language
