Game AI software maker Xaitment offers source code to clients

Having source code access will allow licensees to speed development by debugging and customizing AI code for their game and simulation projects.

German developer Xaitment, creator of artificial intelligence software for video game and simulation developers, has made its source code available to all current and future US and European customers who license full versions of its AI software modules, xaitMap and xaitControl. The two products provide developers with libraries and graphical tools for NavMesh generation, pathfinding, movement, character behavioral modeling, and game logic. The availability of source code gives developers the added ability to more easily debug, optimize and customize the code, saving development time.
