I want to know what is the best library to use for Artificial Intelligence ?

Are these libraries easy to use ?

Will i miss some AI features if i used AI libraries ?

Will i gain more if i learned how to program AI ?

Will it be cool for games to use AI libraries ?

I mean , will i find most of the important AI skills that are needed in games ?

This message has nothing to do with Ogre itself. I think this is not the correct Forum. Please, move this message to Back to basics.

AI is very dependent on your actual application.
Some libraries exsist, for pathfinding, state machines, etc. But they are very generic, and very expensive.

Yes.
But AI is always difficult.

You will need to study it. It's a very complex area.

You will need to learn how to piece things together, yes.
AI is a huge field.

It is one of the coolest things for games.
Study F.E.A.R, for instance.
