Postgraduate Certificate in Intelligent Systems in Video Game Programming.

Intelligent systems in video game programming are computer programs that use algorithms and artificial intelligence techniques to enhance the player experience. These systems can be used to create more realistic and challenging non-playable characters (NPCs), or to enhance gameplay and game customization through adaptation to the player's play style.

One of the intelligent systems that is commonly used in video games is Machine Learning. This system uses artificial intelligence algorithms to analyze and learn from the player's behavior and then adapt and respond to the player's actions. For example, a machine learning system can learn what are the most common strategies the player uses to advance in the game and create specific enemies or challenges to overcome these strategies.

Another commonly used system is the Behavior Engine (Behavior Trees) which is used to program the movements and behaviors of non-playable characters in a game. These systems create a hierarchy of behaviors that are executed based on the current state of the character and the game environment, allowing NPCs to make smarter and more realistic decisions.

Intelligent dialogue systems are also used that allow players to interact with NPCs in a more natural way. These systems analyze conversations between player and NPC and use natural language processing techniques to respond in a consistent and realistic manner.

Intelligent systems in video game programming are tools that use artificial intelligence techniques to enhance the user experience and make the game more realistic. Intelligent systems can improve game customization, gameplay and interaction between the player and non-playable characters. These systems are a fundamental part of modern video game design and are used by many developers to create more interesting and challenging games for players.
