12.25.2011 Christmas Day

Christmas was awesome, got plenty of charcoal now for drawing.

I chatted over STEAM to my brother Luke for a long time today about AI coding, emergent behavior, lua debugging, and got some great ideas.  I also came acros two articles that will affect my future AI coding.  I am going to implement "heading awareness" to the movement of my deer somehow, to better simulate herding, and rewrite the movement code.. AGAIN.. LOL!  Probably theres a clever way to do it.  And there's probably a simple way to get those wolves to encircle prey, according to the second article:

Here are the two articles:  One is on flocking artificial birds

The other is on the logical rules of wolf hunting that create emergent circling of the prey:
