Football AI demo movie

Hey everybody,

Due to popular demand (thats at least 3 people!), I've uploaded a video showing my football AI demo in action. You can see it here on google video. I apologize for the severe compression, can't do better.

I've mainly worked on the offensive play. I seems simple when you see it in action, but there is a lot to it!
The demo currently features:

7 goals and sub-goals;

PlayBall, CatchBall, GrabFreeBall, Offense, OffenseWithBall, OffenseWithoutBall, Defense, ProtectPlayer

8 possible actions, (that are often combined);

RunToGoal, AvoidEnemyPlayers, RunToBall, SeparateFromPlayers, RunToPlayer, CallProtectPlayer, PassToPlayer, InterposeBetween, StayInPassDistance

3 events;

Kickoff, BallCatched, BallThrown

and a grand total of 11 logic clauses:

BallClose/IsCloseToBall, BallHolderInMyTeam, IsBallHolder / HaveBall, AreClose, Protected, InDanger/IsInDanger, InThrowDistance, Always.

At first it is a lot of work, even with the fully operational AI engine. But once you reach a critical mass of goals, events, actions and clause to work with, you can add new behaviors with real ease, just by playing in the behavior rules script file.

I will most probably include this full demo when I'll release the AI engine to the public. The demo is by no mean a functionnal football game, but I think it will work nicely at exposing how to work with the decision making engine. The latter should come as a dynamic link library, with mandatory header files and all necessary and usefull bits of code and scripts to make it run great with TGE.
