All Implemented Interfaces:

AI, java.lang.Runnable

public class BeelineAI

extends AbstractAI

Makes hostile monsters attack the nearest player, without checking for walls or obstructions. A fairly useless AI unless the monster is in a map where there are no obstructions, in which case it's much more efficient than the StandardAI.
