For an explanation of what AI Interfaces & Wrappers for the Spring engine are, have a look at the AI Interface system page.

C & C++ AI Interface: rc (please help testing!), by hoijui
Legacy C++ AI Wrapper: deprecated, ensures AIs written for springs old C++ AI interface can still be used, by hoijui
New C++ AI Wrapper: alpha, allows writing C++ AIs using the new OO structure and all possibilities of the C Interface, by hoijui
Java AI Interface: rc (please help testing!), supports loading AIs written in pure Java, by hoijui
Mono AI Interface: beta, will support loading AIs written in a CLI language, by Agon

 ==AI Interfaces & Wrappers==
-Skirmish AIs are not loaded by the engine directly, but through an interface library.
+===Introduction===
-This allows integration of AIs written in other languages.
+For an explanation of what AI Interfaces & Wrappers for the Spring engine are,
-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).

-AI Interfaces are plugins for the spring engine, while Skirmish AIs are plugins for AI Interfaces.
-Wrappers are comparable to AI Interfaces, but they rather lay between an AI Interface and an AI.
-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.
