Artificial Intelligence in Video Games: Towards a Unified Framework

Algorithm 11

Conceptual data synchronization in Graven. Synchronization code in a class is added whenever its members are modified directly.

void  Raven_Bot::Spawn(Vector2D pos)

{

 ⋯

 //Direct modification: sync!

 m_iHealth = m_iMaxHealth;

 cpt->SetHealth(m_iHealth);

 //Function call: don’t sync, already done in function definition!

 SetAlive();

 //Different class: don’t sync, WeaponSystem has its own sync code!

 m_pWeaponSys->Initialize();

 ⋯

}
