Movement Algortihms

Scenario:
develop a movement algorith with collision avoidance

Activity 1: Calculate a Steering Vector Algorithm.
Calculate a steering vector by hand to help review the vector math that will be required to complete Activity 2 of this project.

Activity 2: Design and code a steering algorithm class, then combine methods.
Step 1: Create a method to calculate the steering force on an entity for each of the following movement algorithms:

Seek
Flee
Arrive
Wander
Collision Avoidance

Step 2: Create a Weighted Blending technique for combining the various steering algorithms coded above. The method should calculate the total steering force acting upon an AI bot.

Activity 3: Demonstrate the steering class created.
Using a graphical API (i.e. DarkGDK, DirectX, etc), create a demo for the steering class created in Activities 1 and 2. The demonstration should have multiple AI entities undergoing multiple movement algorithms, as well as avoiding obstacles placed in the world.
