How hard would this be to program?

How hard would it be to add some A.I. to Combat to make it playable by one player?

Hard. Now, programming a Combat clone with those features should be easy to medium. Of course, Neotokeo2001 and NukeyShay should be able to provide more accurate answers about hacking features in.

IIRC someone has always done this.

Yep, it has been done already. There's a Homebrew called Combat DX and there's Zach Matley's Combat Tank AI Hack.

Unfortunately both are not finished AFAIK.
