In this chapter, we applied some of the AI techniques that we learned previously to our simple tanks combat game. We'd be able to apply some more techniques in a larger game scope, but in this short chapter, we reused the simple FSM framework that we built in Chapter 2, Finite State Machines, as well as Unity's built-in navigation meshes capabilities.
This example project is a very good starting point for exploring the AI techniques that we introduced in this book. There are many improvements that can be implemented, and I really encourage you to play a bit more with this demo, trying to improve the AI. There are several low-hanging fruit, so, here are my suggestions:
As a first exercise, you can increase the number of states, for instance, by adding a Chasing state in which the tank will actively look for the player. The structure is similar to the Attack state...
