Simulation of Artificial Intelligence Concepts Gaming Project in C++

Explanation

1. Headers:
   • <iostream>: For input and output operations.
   • <cstdlib>: For rand() and srand() functions.
   • <ctime>: For time() function to seed the random number generator.
2. Enum:
   • enum class State: Defines the possible states for the AI (Idle, Patrol, Chase).
3. AI Class:
   • Attributes:
     • currentState: Current state of the AI.
     • playerDistance: Simulated distance to the player.
   • Methods:
     • update(): Updates the AI’s state based on the player’s distance and prints the current state.
     • simulatePlayerMovement(): Simulates changes in player distance using a random value.
4. Main Function:
   • Initialization:
     • Seeds the random number generator.
     • Creates an AI object.
   • Simulation Loop:
     • Runs for a fixed number of steps (10 in this case).
     • Simulates player movement by changing the distance.
     • Calls update() to adjust the AI’s state and print the result.

Notes:

• Finite State Machine: This program demonstrates a simple finite state machine where the AI’s behavior changes based on the distance to the player.
• Random Distance: The simulatePlayerMovement() function generates a random distance to simulate player movement.
