Behavior Trees

Behavior Trees are a structured way to define and manage AI behaviors in games, providing a hierarchical and modular approach to decision-making. Instead of complex, intertwined 'if-then-else' statements, behavior trees organize actions and conditions into nodes like sequences, selectors, and decorators. This allows designers to easily create sophisticated AI logic, such as an enemy patrolling, then engaging a player, or retreating when damaged, by combining smaller, reusable behaviors.
