SteerSuite

A suite of test cases, tools, and libraries for steering behaviors

 

SteerSuite 1.3 is released!

March 29, 2010

SteerSuite 1.3 is released! Download it here. There are several major changes and additions that should make SteerSuite more useful to a wider audience:

  • SteerSuite is now licensed under GPL version 3.
  • A flexible best-first search planner has been added to SteerLib.
  • A more elaborate steering AI, called PPR (plan, predict, react) AI, is available.
  • It is now possible to load and control a simulation engine (and all modules) in your own programs. This opens a lot of possibilities! Use our steering AI in your open source game, use benchmarking on agents that you already have in your own code, or just use the simulation engine as additional infrastructure in your code, that you don't have to create on your own!

Some users have reported that SteerSuite compiles successfully but crashes on Mac OS X. We have tested it on our Mac OS X machines, and have not experienced any crashing issue. Please contact us with more details if you have any problems with running SteerSuite, and we will try to address the issue.

For this release the Qt GUI is not supported. Please let us know if you were actually using the Qt GUI, and if there is enough feedback, we will revive it!

SteerSuite 1.02b update available!

December 6, 2009

SteerSuite 1.02b is a minor update. This release fixes an important bug where collisions were not being properly counted when benchmarking. Download it here.

SteerSuite 1.02 available now.

September 7, 2009

SteerSuite 1.02 is released! Download it here.

Changes include:

  • Several bug-fixes, and resolved several compiling issues.
  • Many SteerLib API interfaces have been improved.
  • A new Qt GUI is available (still experimental and in development).
  • More of the benchmark techniques are implemented and usable now.

Look forward to the next release, too! Version 1.03 will include an original steering algorithm, called PPR (plan, predict, react). It will be a great starting point for users to begin experimenting with their own steering techniques and benchmarking techniques.

Users who want to use the Qt GUI will need to download and install Qt separately. Windows users will also need to re-compile Qt using the win32-msvc platform. Note that the Qt GUI is still in its infancy. It will be greatly improved in version 1.04 and beyond.
