Im new to dark basic and im currently making a small test level, the level is basically a small flat matrix with boxes played around the level and I want to make a computer controlled sphere move around the level and if it collides with a box it turns around. I want to give my sphere basic AI i have searched the code base and help files in dark basic and didn’t find anything so I thought I would pitch my question to the forum.

AI is a huge subject and can range from the very basic "rotate the sphere a random amount, move it until it hits something (or the edge of the matrix), rotate it a random amount and repeat", to advanced pathfinding routines.

I'd start with the simple form first and when you have that more or less working, take a look at the following web page:
