A group of computer science majors at Calpoly have spent the last year developing a Star Ship simulator that is ran on ethernet/novell networking systems. Currently, one of our modifications is an attempt to implement smart objects, so that players may "fight" against starships controlled by the computer(s). Requirements would be something along the lines of: 1) Ability to distinguish ships of different alliances, and chose the appropriate weapons and tactics based on certain criteria sets. 2) Ability to maintain certain ship functions, and decide upon power distribution during rapidly fluctuating battle conditions. These are some examples of the type of work that would be required of whatever system we chose to implement. Expert systems, neural-nets and a few other systems have so far been considered. Any input, comments, questions, or criticisms would be much appreciated. Either posted here, or mailed to: sjacques@polyslo.calpoly.edu Jaxman @|-<> Elvis lives! Run for you lives.
