How does this scale goes?
a->b>c>Novice->x->y>z?

Thanks.

IMO

we're all novices, and we're all experts

just a case of what we show, what we say, and what we do

just do what you do, and you'll be an expert before you even realise it

I've edited the subject - I hope now it's more understandable.

If you are trying to find names for various difficulty levels, then use terms you understand, or just use numbers.

Is this for your game engine? I'd be careful about putting too much into your game engine... You don't want to limit its use in anyway. Personally i'd say a levelling system or difficulty system would be better implemented in the engine user's code, rather than in your engine.

@JP: It's more for a demo of the engine then for the engine's core but I'll think about what you have said too..

Any updates on irrAI?

Yeah, good idea, making a demo like that is a perfectly good way of showing how people might go about doing a difficulty system with the game engine.

That's what i'm doing with the irrAI demos, keeping generic code in the engine but putting together simple demos that show how the generic code can be used to create more specific AI and providing a simple base project for using the library.

I should have an update soon, i've been working on chasing & fleeing. I've got it working to some extent but it still needs a bit more work before showing it i think!
