Challenge #12 - Character Avoid Player  (Game AI)

     Characters in games general exhibit a number of different AI behaviors.  So in this challenge, we'll try and make a computer controlled character try and avoid collisions with the player.    The character can either be stationary or roaming.  If the player moves towards the character (or vice versa) then the character should attempt move out of the way of the on coming player.   Don't concern your selves with pretty visuals, this is an AI/logic challenge, so experiment and see what methods you can dream up!
