I’m reading through the fantastic game AI pro books (available online for free at gameaipro.com) and I work as a devops engineer for my day job, writing programs specific to how our business utilizes public cloud and k8s.
I am looking for opportunities to apply techniques from this game ai domain to my work domain. I suspect there are plenty of opportunities to arbitrage knowledge from other fields and am happy that I’m putting my own mind to that type of work.
To be clear; game dev is a hobby, work is work.
- tlb 5y agoMost game logic has the luxury of being re-run every frame. That makes it a lot simpler than having to register events and callbacks and keep track of them or cancel them if something changes. Sometimes I use that style in server code and it’s simpler and not too expensive if you’re not at huge scale. Worth trying.
