[LibGDX] Forward Scrolling Space Shooter AI?

[Heirteir]

I need to know how to make an AI for my game this is something I am new to.
things that the AI needs to do:

• Shoot A Player
• Not collide with other enemies/player
• Act differently based on health
• move towards player is able to

I have already created the enemies and stuff I just need to know how to make them “smart” and actually attack and stuff.

Thanks for the help!!!

I just need to be pointed in the right direction

Get yourself “Programming Game AI by Example” from Buckland.

if (health > 2) {
     attackPlayer();
} else {
     runAway();
}

if (playerVisible() && playerInRange()) {
     shootBulletToPlayer();
}

I always think something like this is a worthwhile addition:

@trollwarrior1

if (playerVisible() && playerInRange()) {
     if (player.getName().equals("richierich"))
          accuracy = 0;
     else
          accuracy = 100;

     shootBulletToPlayer();
}
