Hoping for some advice on AI pathfinding terminology
Hoping for some advice on AI pathfinding terminology
Basically I have a town made of individual hex shaped tiles with buildings on them. Each tile will have footpaths too, and my little people will hopefully wander around the paths, travelling to other tiles via their path connections.
I'm fine with learning this stuff but just not sure exactly what terms to search for to get started!
Should I be looking up specific #Godot features for finding routes? Algorithms? Help!
I made a horrible mistake with my first game
I made a horrible mistake with my first game
So for context: I'm a programmer and I like the idea of not using a game engine, but I have no real prior experience with game development specifically.
I thought it was a good idea to make a text adventure game (think Zork) in C, since the language offers great portability, including the ability to run code on the 6502. Also a text adventure game made sense because I can't make art and idk anyone else who wanted to work on a game with me.
This was a terrible idea for a few reasons:
- A text adventure game is impossible to make with a small scope
- My from-scratch engine wasn't really designed with modifying the game data mid-development in mind
- I have no clue what I'm doing.
I just don't know what to do now. Any ideas? @gamedev
