Today’s game players expect increasingly realistic interaction within games. "Introduction to Game AI" teaches readers who are new to game AI the skills they need through hands-on projects based on small, understandable games. While there are many books that take a more advanced approach to this topic, this is one of the only books that focuses specifically on beginners. Every project in the book can be completed using tolls that are available for free online, and new skills are taught using easy to follow instructions and examples.

Neil is a member of Technical Staff at Bell Labs, the R&D arm of Alcatel-Lucent. He has hosted the AI Programmers Dinner and moderated the AI Roundtables at GDC for many years. He is on the IGDA Foundation Board of Trustees and has spearheaded the Eric Dybsand Memorial Scholarship for AI for the last three years. He has articles in AI Game Programming Wisdom volumes 1, 2, and 4. He was a section editor for two sections of Wisdom 4. He currently consults on CMMI, software architecture reviews, artifact flow-through, tool integration, and process improvement. He also teaches a two-day class, Avoiding the Software Performance Crisis. When not consulting, he develops .NET solutions.
