C&C - Path Finding and Steering Aditya Ravi Shankar
This is a demonstration of unit pathfinding and movement/steering strategies used in RTS games. To see a playable recreation of the original Command and Conquer, please go here.
Units use A* to plot a path and avoid collision using a 'soft collision' radius. They also ask static units to move aside. You can read more about the algorithm on my blog.
Switch on "DEBUG MODE" to see how it works. This is still a work in progress. Any comments or feedback (including bugs), is appreciated.
This page works best on Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox. The images can take a little while to load so please be patient.
