A* Search is a heuristic search algorithm that combines the advantages of Dijkstra's Algorithm and Breadth-First Search, resulting in an efficient and optimal pathfinding solution.

Behavior Trees are hierarchical structures that represent the decision-making process of a game character, allowing AI designers to create complex and adaptive behaviors.

Motion Capture involves recording the movements of real actors and transferring them to digital characters, resulting in highly realistic and fluid animations.

Situational Awareness refers to the ability of game characters to perceive and understand their current situation, including the presence of other characters, objects, and environmental factors.

Machine Learning algorithms, such as reinforcement learning and supervised learning, enable NPCs to learn from their experiences and adapt their behavior based on the feedback they receive.

Social AI encompasses the techniques and algorithms used to create game characters that can interact with each other and the player in a realistic and engaging manner.

Jump Point Search is an algorithm specifically designed for pathfinding in dynamic environments, as it can quickly adapt to changes in the terrain and find new paths efficiently.

Crowd Simulation refers to the techniques and algorithms used to create realistic and dynamic crowd behaviors, such as flocking, swarming, and pathfinding, in games.

Reinforcement Learning algorithms allow game characters to learn from their interactions with the environment and adjust their behavior accordingly, resulting in adaptive and intelligent AI.

Conversational AI encompasses the techniques and algorithms used to create game characters that can engage in natural and meaningful conversations with the player.

Hierarchical Pathfinding algorithms divide the environment into smaller regions and create a hierarchy of paths, allowing for efficient pathfinding in large and complex worlds.

Animal AI encompasses the techniques and algorithms used to create realistic and engaging animal behaviors, such as hunting, foraging, and social interactions, in games.

Emotion AI algorithms allow game characters to express emotions, such as happiness, sadness, or anger, and respond to the player's actions in an emotionally intelligent manner.

Object Interaction encompasses the techniques and algorithms used to create realistic and immersive interactions between game characters and objects in the environment, such as picking up, throwing, and manipulating objects.

Dynamic Pathfinding algorithms are specifically designed to handle environments with moving obstacles, as they can recalculate paths in real-time to adapt to changes in the environment.
