Introduction


In this chapter, we will learn path-finding algorithms for navigating complex scenarios. Game worlds are usually complex structures; whether a maze, an open world, or everything in between. That's why we need different techniques for approaching these kinds of problems.

We'll learn some ways of representing the world using different kinds of graph structures, and several algorithms for finding a path, each aimed at different situations.

It is worth mentioning that path-finding algorithms rely on techniques such as Seek and Arrive, learnt in the previous chapter, in order to navigate the map.
