AI:Links
From Spring
There is a lot of talk on AI and little running code, at present (Spring vrsion 0.63b2) there is no AI player, however there is a Random_enemies script - which can be used for some basic testing.
There is a backend that allows people to script a AI.
Useful existing documentation on the Spring AI can be found here: K-mans Spring AI documentation
