BACS3323 Chapter 2 - Movement Part 1 -Lecture

What is the main difference between AI and animation in terms of movement?

• AI is like a chess player making strategic moves, while animation is like a puppeteer controlling the movements of a marionette

• AI and animation are the same

• AI is for characters, animation is for objects

• AI is for 2D games, animation is for 3D games

What is the difference between kinematic and dynamic movement algorithms?

• Dynamic algorithms are for NPCs, kinematic algorithms are for players

• Kinematic algorithms are for 3D games, dynamic algorithms are for 2D games

• Dynamic algorithms consider current motion, while kinematic algorithms do not

• Kinematic algorithms consider acceleration, while dynamic algorithms do not

What is the purpose of the 'Seek' behavior in autonomous vehicle navigation?

• To adjust the vehicle's path to avoid obstacles

• To predict where other vehicles will be and navigate towards that point

• To make the vehicle follow a specific route around a destination

• To bring the vehicle to a complete stop

In a tile-based game environment, how does movement occur?

• Characters move based on sound cues

• Characters move freely in any direction

• Characters move tile by tile with limited directions

• Characters move in a continuous environment

What is the purpose of the 'Line of Sight' method in game programming?

• To determine if the player has enough resources

• To calculate the distance between characters

• To detect if an NPC has seen the player

• To create visual illusions

What is the key factor in implementing the 'Pursue' behavior in autonomous vehicle navigation?

• Calculating the current distance to the destination

• Avoiding pedestrians and other vehicles on the road

• Predicting the destination's future position based on traffic patterns

• Stopping the vehicle's movement at traffic signals

What is the main goal of 'Steering Behaviors' in game development?

• To control the game's physics engine

• To achieve higher level goals using global calculations

• To create complex strategies for characters

• To give characters life-like navigation abilities

What is the purpose of the 'Evade' behavior in steering algorithms?

• To make the character orbit around the target

• To get as far from the target as possible

• To predict where the target will be and aim towards that point

• To move the character towards a target
