A* Pathfinding, which is a form of pathfinding designed to be a more efficient solution, is what you are looking at right here. Or, to be more specific, node based A*. (Continued in article)

Which is essentially the same as using a grid or tile system, but it's meant to be more compatible with maps or games that are not grid based. As you can probably see from the video, i have done 0 work on optimization, because it's been crazy enough trying just to get the general concept down and apply them to the engine. But, after optimization, it should be able to support a large amount of units in a much bigger scale.

This was made for a game that i've been working on for a while, with not that much progress being made. Titled Halo: Fireteam Echo, it is a top-down stealth strategy shooter where you have to make good decisions and plan your engagements before starting them. Otherwise, it'll leave you dead wondering what you did wrong. There are NO spartans in this game, it is an ODST exclusive, and trust me, it will NOT be an easy one. More information will be given soon, and H:FE will get a game page as well. Stay tuned.

Gonna start working on some A* pathfinding soon for my upcoming Halo game, wish me luck :D

@VaderNinja12

Stress testing the pathfinding engine after i did some work on optimization. I also felt like it was needed to change the order at which each node pathfinds, therefore making the ones closer to the destination go first. Implementation coming soon!

This is Vortex, a very wip local multiplayer game.

The main focus is to be a mayhem kind of game, with easy outplay and strategy options.

I got this idea after some discussion with a friend and evolved it a little more (Read article)

Showcase of the old version of H:FE. This is NOT what the final product is going to be like, this was more of a test project so i could see the direction i wanted to go in. Only the good parts of this will be ported to the real game. Any thoughts?
