This is the code repository for Unity Artificial Intelligence Programming - Fifth Edition, published by Packt.

Add powerful, believable, and fun AI entities in your game with the power of Unity 2021

Developing artificial intelligence (AI) for game characters in Unity 2021 has never been easier. Unity provides game and app developers with a variety of tools to implement AI, from basic techniques to cutting-edge machine learning-powered agents. Leveraging these tools via Unity's API or built-in features allows limitless possibilities when it comes to creating game worlds and characters.

This book covers the following exciting features:

• Understand the basics of AI in game design
• Create smarter game worlds and characters with C# programming
• Apply automated character movement using pathfinding algorithm behaviors
• Implement character decision-making algorithms using behavior trees
• Build believable and highly efficient artificial flocks and crowds

All of the code is organized into folders. For example, Chapter02.

The code will look like the following:

void OnCollisionEnter(Collision collision)
    {
        ContactPoint contact = collision.contacts[0];
        Instantiate(explosion, contact.point, Quaternion.identity);
        Destroy(gameObject);
    }

Following is what you need for this book: This Unity artificial intelligence book is for Unity developers with a basic understanding of C# and the Unity Editor who want to expand their knowledge of AI Unity game development.

With the following software and hardware list you can run all code files present in the book (Chapter 1-12). 2
