AI (Prolog) programming on Unity
Making enemies follow the player, find the best route (pathfinding) and other kinds of behaviour can be done with known algorithms like genetic algorithms, A* (A star), flowshop, etc, usually using prolog. Is there a way to use prolog programmation to make AIs on Unity?
It is possible using a compiler and a prolog program, such as P# and other (references below). Some material to make better artificial intelligence and example codes:

unity fps tutorial (includes a working enemy with simple AI implemented) http://unity3d.com/support/resources/tutorials/fps-tutorial-part1
Just want to point out the the Unity FPS tutorial doesn't actually have A* implemented, the robots attack on sight and walks to random waypoints, they don't use pathfinding.
technically it have no heuristics, but the code is enough to cover most of the regular questions, as the robot walks to the closer node, also the status are well defined and easy to understand and modify, so anyway I changed the above text to be more precise
