Actually most ghosts have terrible pathfinding (they're memory-limited) so they just kinda select the first detected viable route. Later ghost revisions improved the pathfinding algo

Added SFX to the traps
Also updated the enemy pathfinding—mobs are aware of hazard zones and actively avoid stepping into them.

So, I've worked on two main important thing.
First: Collision, second: AI Pathfinding with patrol, wander, and follow(wip this one)! :)

in a platformer sense, probably not, as the pathfinding and procedural animation are almost one and the same.
a good keyword afaik is "pathfinding" as procedural animation just describes physics driven stuff broadly? ragdoll or physics simulation which is prolly not what yre in search of.

Started making a prototype for a command-line interface tactics game. Just move commands for now with some basic pathfinding around enemy obstacles and non-functioning fog of war

AI is LLMs, which (despite the name) refers only to any transformer-based model and not any large model.
AI is also pathfinding, neural networks, symbolic learning, and and Hey You Pikachu

There’s some coding things where it’s not worth reinventing the wheel, like pathfinding or physics but that tends to get included in a game engine.
Something as broad as “a platformer” I think there is not just coding but design with infinite potential for variation.

To be 100% fair, AI generated code is not the problem. There are only so many ways you can implement a platformer or physics or dialogue system.
It's the creative direction, assets and story that take the longest and that's where you really see and feel the slop. Luckily, this can't be hidden.

It was a clever idea: giving BOTW and TOTK have a lot of immsim inspo in terms of doing whatever you can to solve a problem. It blends that with normal pathfinding and occasional linearity to guide players along the game.

Eight. Years.
Eight years of architectural planning and optimization paid off.
Human Era managed 8000 sapiens simultaneously in 27 cities at 250 fps. AI, pathfinding, all the things I optimized for barely even registered. The worst offender by far was idle blueprint anim

I wonder if the same ones that hate Wolverine for having white/yellow paint also hate #ValorMortis #pathfinding.

you can still “lovingly hand-craft” the parts of the code you find interesting and fun. yesterday i completely rewrote pathfinding in my simulation by hand, introducing HPA*, flow fields and path leg caching, while i had claude figuring out why an NPC was just standing still and increasingly angry
this story is extremely wild, major investigation from @josephcox.bsky.social:

Ruff life indeed—mine just stands mid-screen chewing a pixel carrot while I debug its pathfinding.

could be worse, I've been programming since ~2014 (on and off) and I hadn't done any pathfinding until earlier this year. A* is tutorialslop and I waited until after I made a game engine before i ever tried it.

A main walkable path for the followers sounds like a clean way out of that fight with the pathfinding. Will the lily pads stay part of that path, or are they side routes that only the leader takes?

What is a greybox scene?
Early in development, we use basic geometric scenes instead of final art to test mechanics without visual distractions. Here, we're testing monster AI and pathfinding, letting us quickly iterate and refine features. If it works here, it works for real!

The hill isn't the best, but the last time I went that way, the pathfinding sucked too. Travelling off the MUP is not intuitive If you don't know the area:

My pathfinding script also refuses to step into swampy zones, so I just let my Tamagotchi paddle around on a lilypad instead.

A perspective shifting pathfinding game. Unlike the other ones which are all in orthographic 3D, this has perspective! And features camera zooming/FOV changes as mechanics!! Wild!!
It appears to be a college student project, with no online presence yet.
