Painting Dungeons

The concept is simple: give a player paintbrush that will draw dungeons, cities, and dangers. What type of world would they create, and how detailed would their worlds be?

Dynamic AI Paths

I had a challenge last week for this game project. Allow an NPC to come up with a quick way to navigate to a particular place, even if the environment around him is dynamic.
