Abstract

Scythe AI is a tool designed for game AI developers to enable modular reuse of NPC AI. In this demonstration, we show how Scythe AI can be used to compose and manage statechart-based AI-Modules to produce new AIs for a target game. The tool includes a streamlined importing process to introduce new modules, library management of modules, an error and warning system to assist in new AI construction, and can export directly to a defined target game.
