for now it`s avoiding moving obstacles while traveling in just one direction
I'm switching from DirectX to GDI, this is what I have so far. I hope nothing will get in the way until the porting is successful
I`m codding again. Soon I will have a new video or at least a screenshot with the new things I made. Meanwhile I want to talk about something related to what I posted recently on my other frequently visited forum. The post was titled “Building a better RTS AI. Starting from the end”. In that post I…

I have started to read about A Star the pathfinding algorithm again. I don`t know if I`ll end up having a working version of it written by me but reading alone …

Units avoiding each other - YouTube
the next task to replicate the resource collection behavior. that`s going to prove tricky I think. I need to figure out a way to represent resource collection which will be probably the unit (a cube) sp…
