Hi,

I want to get some materials about advanced AI tech used in Game. I
think there is a collection of links or books for met to read, can
anybody give me some hints?

Great name, Binary. I suppose your little brother is named Ternary?

"Advanced AI" could mean 1) best use of AI in adding value to a game, or
2) most complicated and slowest AI technique in a game. Probably the
latter would be the insertion of some sort of learning technology,
perhaps ILP? Or modeling the cognitive decision making process?

Maybe the following links will lead somewhere useful. I'd especially
check out the academic conferences like IAAI. Around 2000-2002, IAAI
conducted several symposia that were dedicated to gaming AI.
