Pathfinding and Navigation
Intelligent movement systems enable game characters to navigate complex environments, avoid obstacles, and reach destinations efficiently. This category covers pathfinding algorithms, spatial representation techniques, and behavioral systems that bring realistic motion to NPCs and agents. Master the fundamental techniques that power navigation in modern games, from basic waypoints to advanced crowd dynamics.
