Hello everyone!

I would like to create a pathfinder application for a game, I have the coordinates of the edges of the walkable objects. The question is where could I get started with this project? I have never tried to do anything like this, I saw a few articles here, but I couldn't manage to understand them.

Thanks for the answers.

Not a question.

Your question is far too broad for this forum, try and narrow it down to what you mean by a pathfinder application. Also, if you cannot understand existing articles on the subject you may need to reconsider your choice of project.

You should start with the pathfinding example @ AppHub[^]

there are also some good heuristics explinations on Gamasutra[^] and a great beginner tutorial here[^].

hope this helps.
