For this meetup Matt will go over some basic AI principles and show some insight into how he developed the AI techniques specifically for Pathogen (http://pathogen.co) and Dominant Species (http://www.insidegmt.com/?tag=dominant-species).



Matt Brand (https://twitter.com/mattbrand) is a game programmer for GameTheory (http://www.gametheoryco.com) in Burlington, VT. He has been developing games since 2008 and has worked on over ten games that have been published on the AppStore and Google Play. His current passion is Artificial Intelligence. He coded the AI for three games over the last few years, including Pathogen, a proprietary game by GameTheory (Birnam Wood Games at the time of release), and the digital versions of Leaping Lemmings and Dominant Species, board games by GMTGames.



After Matt's talk, we'll try to have four 5-minute show-and-tell slots available for whomever wants them (first come, first serve). If you have a talk idea, please let me know (shane.celis at gmail).
