Skeleton Park
Run around the morgue picking up bones as a skeleton, but avoid being caught by dogs.
Who put the bones in Skeleton Park? I don’t know. Well, the aim of this simple, but addictive game is to run around the morgue while picking up bones as a skeleton, but avoid being eaten by dogs. The cool thing about this game is that when two dogs run into each other they fight. There are five levels in all, so collect all 8 bones to make it to the next level. Oh, and watch out for those dogs!

To see why this is attractive, think about how you would implement a typical game using Canvas:
New Paradigms in Artificial Intelligence
A better understanding of the techniques inspired by natural intelligence (NewAI) in addition to OldAI techniques will lead to a much more complete toolbox for an AI designer. This will allow agents to be designed to behave more naturally and a better understanding of why they fail in particular situations, leading to more believable motions and behaviors in games.
