Chapter 10

  1. We can use the distanceTo function to measure the distance between two position vectors.
  2. The algorithm we used in Gold Rush for pathfinding is known as A* (A Star).
  3. We can multiply or divide the x or y position by the tile size to convert between world and grid coordinates.
  4. Turning withDiagonal to true provides more natural movement to our characters, otherwise the characters will move at right angles which look robotic!
  5. Every time we change direction, we must match the correct animation, or we will get issues like the sprite appearing to walk backwards.
