I wanted to get the NPC ships into the game so I could see a little life happening. There was some old AI code I’d used that still works fine, but it’s not the best. Definitely needs work, but it’s a start.
Also hooked it up so the NPCs appear on the mini-map.
The ships effectively follow the same rules as the planets, except they can move of their own volition whereas planets just sit in the same universe_x, universe_y positions.
Progress
- The NPC ships are now in.
- Basic integration with some old AI code I’d used before.
- Needs tweaking.
- NPCs are showing up on the minimap.
