How do you simulate decision making in competitive games like poker or chess on the computer?

Robin D asked:


Are there any good books that I can use that will help me design a realistic sort of decision making process for the computer in a video game that I am working on?

   Welcome to the big wide world of AI. Long story short, ai is a *****. That said, it is a very large field with lots of research. Although only really about 50 years old, a good deal of interesting work has been done. If you have access, to a university, a 1 semester course will give you much more than any amount of reading will do.

   If you are looking to design ai specifically for games, there is a great online portal relating to it with many articles from people in the industry.
   Find it here[1].

   To get you started at the general gist of how you might go about making a fairly simple AI (the example is for chess) have a look at [2].

   To get an idea of the kids of algorithms used in AI have a look at [3][4][5].

   Good luck!
