Description

This course?is designed for intermediate users of Unity (see the Prerequisites for specific topics you should be familiar with before joining).?

Though Unity comes pre-packaged with an excellent pathfinding system, we explore beyond using a black box to calculate paths through your game levels.

Pathfinding and search algorithms are a core component of game development. ?If you want to level up your skills, enroll today and?dive into implementing your own version of A* search!

Through a carefully crafted set of lectures we learn search algorithms, starting with Breadth-First Search, diving in Dijkstra’s algorithm and culminating with the industry-standard A* search for pathfinding.

All concepts are presented with?easy-to-understand visuals!?

Some other bonus features?of those course:

learn to use text files or texture maps to drive level data in Unity

learn how to implement a priority queue (binary heap) in C#

learn to structure a small project using the MVC(Model View Controller) design pattern

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have access to the course materials?

You can view and review the lecture materials indefinitely, like an on-demand channel.

Can I take my courses with me wherever I go?

Definitely! If you have an internet connection, courses on Udemy are available on any device at any time. If you don’t have an internet connection, some instructors also let their students download course lectures. That’s up to the instructor though, so make sure you get on their good side!
