JavaScript library for developing Game AI.

Yuka ·

Yuka is a JavaScript library for developing Game AI.

• Autonomous Agent Design: Yuka provides a basic game entity concept and classes for state-driven and goal-driven agent design.
• Steering: Use the build-in vehicle model and steering behaviors in order to develop moving game entities.
• Navigation: Graph classes, search algorithms and a navigation mesh implementation enables advanced path finding.
• Perception: Create game entities with a short-term memory and a vision component.
• Trigger: Use triggers to generate dynamic actions in your game.
• Fuzzy Logic: Make your game entities smarter with Yuka's fuzzy inference system.
• JSON: Save and load the current state of your game by using a serialization/deserialization API based on JSON.

Yuka is a standalone library and independent of a particular 3D engine.
