Scratch

Capital has the best AI I have seen in a scratch game.

The ships and missles can follow you all over space and use real physics to calculate forces. I'm sure there is stuff you can learn from it.

I'm going to have to thank technomage for the nod to Capital, but please, if you are going to look at my script for any education, don't look at the enemy ship.  It's attack looks smart and complex but its embarrassingly simple and uses the missile to hide what its really doing in the game.  Instead look at the physics I've built into the missile.  I consider that much more clever.

i have AI opponents in two of my games.  1player ping pong and pacman.  both are fairly straightforward but affective. feel free to look.  pingpong may be more appropriate for you.

Well, Al's are not that hard to make. My Al's In my super awesome game named "Super Smash Brothers Brawl" that is coming out on March 9th (because the actual game will come out in America that day) are going to be pretty good. If there is an item it will go after it and stuff. Lots of stuff of course is from archmage's Merry Smashmas though it is not a remix. I literally put the blocks together and spent my work. Though I bet it will be better. Not sure if it will have the scrolling part with the zooming out though I am working on it. This is how the main stage will look, Basically the main battle field.

Eh, looks horrible, it is hard to make pictures.

Err, my heuristics are rubbish, try again:

  if distance to sprite < 50

else
     set "choose to move" to 5

  if speed of sprite > 10
     change "choose to move" by -7

end forever

Like that "choose to move" is positive if the sprite is near and slow, negative otherwise.

Can someone tell me how to make spaceships shoot at each other.

It all depends on how complicated you want to get...are you trying to make a computer opponent that can fire back at you?  Or something simpler like a video where you just need the ships to shoot at each other?

Have you already figured out how to make bullets shoot?  You will need to know how to do that first.  Here's a shooting tutorial you might want to look at...

something like this

dude no mother flipping way

Thanks a lot, I've been looking everywhere for this, and I needed it for my Stick Figher Sereies, can I use it?

I know how to make enemy AL scripts. My game "Super Scratch Brawl" contains these scripts.
