Abstract

The artificial intelligence (AI) of the enemy will define how the enemy attacks the player and how easy or difficult the game is for the player to win. It would be easy to create an AI that anticipates every move of the player by intercepting the listener calls from the player to touchListener. However, that would not make a fun experience for the player, and your game would not be very fulfilling. The enemies that you created in the preceding chapter need some kind of plan of attack by which to engage the player and create a satisfying gaming experience.
