OK. let's not start it here OK????
We all know that problem, and it can be fixed.
But first, is the design, and skeleton coding stage.

Uh, an O'Reilly book would actually be the perfect place to start.

do we have an overview flow chart yet,
as in from program execution to the idle state?

Abstract or detailed???

writing Flow Chart form multi threading applications is not so simple task.

That, and UML really has no functional usage if you can't simply read the code and understand it. Pretty diagrams don't make up for spaghetti code, so I'm not sure what what devs would be helped by an AI diagram. Keep that in mind.

we need to document it :/

Document API? or how everything Works?
or even both?

srcdoc has some good examples, wich should be updated for AI 2008.
Something like Initialization & main loop would be usefull imo. (old diagram)
Also, a new How the AI subsystem is designed for people that will work on AI modules.

other example:
http://www.openkore.com/wiki/index.php/ ... _subsystem
http://www.openkore.com/wiki/index.php/ ... k_overview
http://www.openkore.com/wiki/index.php/New_AI_design

Oh yea, don't forget to update the src/doc/modules.txt when you add another file, just updated it up till now.

edit: i know they describe the old design, its just for reference and to put an example to what i think the other devs are asking for.
btw, its nice how VCL used metaphors in that starship model design making it more pleasant to read.

Almost none of those doc's have nothing to do with "AI 2008", they describe old design.
The new one, is that "Star Ship" model with some additions to it.

I'm thinking, about adjusting auto documentation, so there will be better description about API.
