SymOntoClay is a domain-specific scripting language and AI engine for defining game character behavior. It combines imperative constructs with logic programming, HTN planning, fuzzy logic, and event-driven triggers, offering a maximally declarative and human-readable syntax.
It adheres to high standards of expressiveness, modularity, and extensibility, drawing inspiration from both programming language theory and AI research. The design principles ensure the following benefits:
- Declarativity: behavior is described at a high level, reducing boilerplate and making scripts more readable.
- Expressiveness: complex reasoning, planning, and reactive mechanisms can be captured concisely.
- Extensibility: modular architecture allows adding new triggers, or planning strategies without breaking existing code.
SymOntoClay integrates with Unity as open-source components. It provides support for Hierarchical Task Networks (HTN) and knowledge-based reasoning, enabling developers to create NPCs with predictable, consistent, and intelligent behavior.
