Description
Beginner’s Guide to AI (Unity 6 Compatible) introduces the core artificial intelligence techniques used to create believable character behavior in modern video games. Taught by Penny de Byl, an experienced game developer and AI author, this training focuses on practical, hands-on workshops using Unity and C#.
Learners explore how non-player characters (NPCs) move, think, and react in dynamic game environments. The course starts with vector mathematics for movement, then progresses through waypoint systems, graph theory, A* pathfinding, navigation meshes, crowd simulation, and autonomous agents. Decision-making techniques such as finite state machines and behavior trees are explained and implemented step by step. By the end, learners gain a strong foundation in game AI suitable for Unity 6 projects.
