The AI from Half-Life’s SDK in Retrospective
aigamedev.com/source/halflife-sdk
“The whole AI logic is hard-coded in C++ and isn’t overly object-oriented, so it’s much easier to follow than recent data-driven engines (although it’s not as straightforward to extend).”
“…looks into the publicly available SDK for Half-Life 1, analyzing the various aspects of the AI such as the task scheduling system, its state-machine like implementation, and the sensory system.”

“Using Half-Life as an example, Lars discusses the components of an AI system, decision making, tactical analysis and artificial stupidity.”
A great general overview, loved the part on artificial stupidity.

Well written, just need to translate into Python and review some basic trig. to understand it better.

“This is a tool where you can draw FSM diagrams, and then compile to a Python module (or C++ code.) It also makes an XML description of the FSM.”
Good number of links! Thanks.
