Artificial intelligence library for html5 based games: DignityAI

Today, acceleration of internet and common use of web pages, revealed the necessity of work with any browser smoothly for each application without of requirement of any plug-in. Generally, HTML5 is a new body of standards which is formed with the combination of CSS and JavaScript. In this context, by analysing game engines developed for HTML5, their features and advantages are investigated. Although, these game engines are close to catch up with the level of popular game engines, it is seen that none of artificial intelligence library was developed for HTML5 based games up to now. In this study, DignityAI artificial intelligence library is developed to fill this deficiency. Developed library has ability to be integrated to all HTML5 games independently from game engine and to add artificial intelligence dynamics to these games.

Html5 tabanlı oyunlar için yapay zeka kütüphanesi: DignityAI

Günümüzde internetin hızlanması ve web sayfalarının yaygınlaşması, her uygulamanın her tarayıcıda herhangi bir eklenti gerektirmeden sorunsuzca çalışması gerekliliğini ortaya çıkarmıştır. HTML5 genel olarak, CSS ve Javascript'in birleşimi ile oluşan yeni bir standartlar bütünüdür. Bu noktada, HTML5 için geliştirilen oyun motorları incelenerek; özellikleri ve sundukları olanaklar araştırılmıştır. Bu oyun motorları; popüler oyun motorlarının seviyesini yakalamaya yakın olmalarına rağmen, herhangi bir yapay zekâ kütüphanesinin şimdiye kadar HTML5 tabanlı oyunlar için geliştirilmemiş olduğu görülmüştür. Bu çalışmada, söz konusu eksikliği gidermek amacı ile DignityAI yapay zekâ kütüphanesi geliştirilmiştir. Geliştirilen kütüphane, oyun motorundan bağımsız olarak tüm HTML5 oyunlarına entegre edilebilen ve bu oyunlara yapay zekâ dinamiklerini katabilme yeteneğine sahip bir kütüphanedir.
