Welcome! Lets start off with why networking the AI. We place AI players into the game to compete against the players, the AI will be added to the race based on how many real players are in the race. This will add a more competitive and enjoyable experience being able to go against AI when you’re playing alone as well as making it more chaotic with other real players.

Some issues I came across with implementing networked AI are that I’m super unfamiliar with networking a game and the things that come with it. I ended up running into issues with ownership with AI and players that join the network because, the player and AI share the same cars so we have to keep track of who’s controlling who’s car, then the more players that join for some reason makes the AI spazz out because he’s confused if he has ownership or not.

This is a super new thing and learning about how RPC works in code to make a game online!
