Spaceship flight is actually much easier to build a navigation system for, unless you're flying around arbitrary dungeons -- but that's 0.01% of the games.

It'd leave nothing for next year ;) Well, as was brought up in the AI Roundtable, space movement is a different pathfinding problem, and it’s a shame we didn’t have anyone from Spore describing how they did movement with any number of limbs :)

Also, *all* of the stuff we discussed in the animation lecture would apply to other types of animals easily. Flying, generally speaking, is a relatively easy problem in comparison to highly constrained indoor environments. There are many topics we didn't cover, but there were opportunities at the end for open questions...
