I'm working on a personal game engine in C# and need to give certain characters / sprites responses to conditions or certain patterns that they follow and since these patterns will be repeated over and over for other characters / sprites, I don't want to tie the patterns to the character / sprite. I will likely want to define the conditions / actions in level data files...

I plan to use this for platformers, space shooters, and pack man like games... Almost an extenable AI system.

Any suggestions on how this can be implemented?

In the past I’ve had a number of ReflectionUtils that used string based expressions… >>> More
