IMPLEMENTATION OF THE A* MOTION TRACKING OF THE PLAYER BY THE ENEMIES ON AN EXAMPLE OF A ROGUELIKE 2D VIDEO GAME
Abstract
The task of this work is to develop a 2D roguelike computer game, where the basic characteristics of the genre were initially explored, and then the graphic style of the video game was defined. The development and functioning of the A* algorithm for motion tracking through various media and examples was explained, after which the same algorithm was implemented in the previously mentioned video game. The problems characteristic for this implementation format are presented and the methodology for solving those same problems and tips for avoiding them are defined. As a result, an absolutely functional video game corresponding to the chosen style with flawless A* motion tracking algorithm was obtained.
