Some thoughts #79

Hello

This library seems to be good but there are 0 examples, well there are tests but they are really confusing, it is impossible to use it, no explanation, nothing, they mix it with scene2d stuff..

The wiki is there, but it just explain how different AI methods works, not how this library works, wich is really frustrating

Documentation seems to be huge, but you focused on explaining what are the different AIs instead of the library itself, or how to write things using your text format, wtf this is java lib, i want to use java..

For behavior trees, creating a LeafTask is easy, i extend it, ok then what? the wiki won't show me how to build an ai with transitions, conditional tasks etc, and more importantly how to actually run the tree ...

Well, first impression is Frustration

I agree too. The explanation for behavior trees are very good but there is no standalone examples of how to use this library. I am using jMonkeyengine as my game engine and want to use this library's behavior trees for my game ai. After two weeks i will reach in my plan to development of my game ai system. Will really appreciate if developers put some standalone and detailed examples for using behavior trees.

Check out https://github.com/jsjolund/GdxDemo3D. Specifically, for the dog btree mentioned in the wiki, the implementation is here: https://github.com/jsjolund/GdxDemo3D/tree/master/core/src/com/mygdx/game/objects/dog

Better than nothing!

Okay, thanks so much, i am following those test codes and reading wiki again and again and am able to get the basic idea and how should i create and manage and use tasks in text file. It starts to be interesting. @davebaol it would be nice if you can visit jMonkeyengine forum some times. :smiley:
