There's plenty you can do with real-time interaction. OTOH, there's lots you can do with batch processing, e.g. tweak the AI's parameters, and see how it performs on the same task. And of course you can have a regression test suite of tasks for the AI to perform as you improve it. How useful this sort of approach is depends on how much processing power you need: if processing is very expensive, it makes less sense to re-run an extensive test suite whenever you make a change. -- Philip Hunt, <cabala...@googlemail.com> Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
