- Graph and data structures
- Graph and data structures tutorial at topcoder.com. This includes path-finding using bfs
- Unit grouping heuristic
- Unit grouping and reorg heuristic by Hugh Perkins
- Optimizing 30,000+ Ships In Realtime In C#
- Lead developer of game AI Wars discusses performance considerations for his RTS handling 30K+ units. Mostly good ideas on how to build a performance RTS engine but also some ideas applicable on how to make a performant AI agent, like working with fixed-ints rather than floats (especially for sync issues between different computers) or imperfect range checks.
- Range Checks - Approximation vs Accurate
- Lead developer of game AI Wars discusses how to improve performance of range checks at the cost of accuracy, which also raises the question of whether we really need 100% accurate range checks always/most times/ever in an AI agent. He states (other post) that range checks was the largest consumer of CPU in the alpha version of the game. He describes how he used an alternative that doesn't use the expensive SquareRoot math calculation.
- Designing Emergent AI, Part 1: An Introduction
- Lead developer of game AI Wars explains how the game's AI works - essentially an overview of how to conceptually construct an AI agent for RTSs. A good resource on how to start going at building an AI agent for an RTS.
