Hello!

Here’s a quick look at what’s in store for you in the next project – A* pathfinding!

It’s slowed down a touch so you can see it ‘thinking’. Click on any passable (white) grid space to move to that space.

It’s a tricky subject – and one I hadn’t actually looked at in over 5 years – so all the theory is from an excellent and easily accessible source: http://www.policyalmanac.org/games/aStarTutorial.htm. Go swot up .

This is basic grid-based pathfinding; if it’s something that appeals to you, this is a decent start but it’s only a very small section of the bigger pathfinding picture. Even so, I’m still struggling to cram it all into the hour I allocate for videos at the moment; it should be with you within a week *fingers crossed*

Update: Couldn’t help pushing it a bit further:
