Extra: Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) has played a crucial role in the evolution of video games, enhancing their complexity and interactivity. From the early days of gaming, AI has been pivotal in creating engaging and challenging experiences for players. One of the first significant implementations of AI in video games was in Namco's Pac-Man (1980). The game featured four ghosts, each programmed with unique behaviors to hunt down the player, creating a dynamic and unpredictable challenge. This AI-driven behavior made Pac-Man an enduring classic.
