2.1.1. Games’ Artificial Intelligence Categories:
Recalling
from
the
previous
definitions of
Artificial
Intelligence
as
well
its
areas
of
implementation
within
the
custom-made
MMORPG,

development
of
Artificial
Intelligence
in this thesis project
falls
into two categories, which are as an animat and
also as machine intelligence and set of technology.
2.1.1.1.

of
programming, games
programming

concepts
from
different
aspects

areas
of
specialization, especially
art
and
science.
“Games
are
