My framework is coming along pretty well. I now have the very basic beginnings of enemies. I’m just using Ogre’s built-in stuff for now (and perhaps for the mini). I can spawn multiple ninjas and have them stand around, randomly going through their three idle animations. If the player moves within range of them, they start slowly stalking the player.<\/p>\n

The stalking behavior is because the only translatable animations for the ninja are “stealth” and “walk” and “walk” seems to be very carefree.<\/p>\n

So, I can spawn a group of ninjas and make them stalk the player. It’s kinda creepy to be stalked by a bunch of ninja – but in a good way :). Next, I think I’ll make them attack. Then, I need to make them collide and be smarter – it looks trippy when they all bunch up.<\/p>\n \n
