Skeleton AI?

[StanJr]

This may have been covered before, but how smart is the Skeleton AI in "Skeleton?" Do they actually actively search for you, or do they wander mindlessly about the maze until you stumble upon them?

 

Seems like its the latter, as I often sneak up behind them or find them facing a dead end.

 

Oh, and were there any AI improvements made in Skeleton+?

 

Thanks

First, there is no difference in AI or mazes between Skeleton and Skeleton+.

 

I may have covered this before, but the Skeletons mostly just wander around the maze randomly. When they come to an intersection, they will randomly chose between paths. At a dead-end they do a 180.

 

The exceptions to this are when they have been shot but not killed; in which case they turn to face the player. And second they will walk forward (if possible) if the player is in front of them, even if there are walls between the Skeleton and the player.

Thanks Eric!

 

Still loving your game.

Still cannot kill more than 16 of the bastards!
