Behavior Trees

Behavior trees (BTs) have been gaining popularity among game developers very steadily. Over the last decade, BTs have become the pattern of choice for many developers when it comes to implementing behavioral rules for their AI agents. Games such as Halo and Gears of War are among the more famous franchises to make extensive use of BTs. An abundance of computing power in PCs, gaming consoles, and mobile devices has made them a good option for implementing AI in games of all types and scopes.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • The basics of a behavior tree
  • The benefits of using existing behavior tree solutions
  • How to implement our own behavior tree framework
  • How to implement a basic tree using our framework
