Navigation Meshes

Penny de Byl

Course Overview

In this project you will be introduced to navigation meshes and learn to use them in a game environment to move characters between goals. You will develop AI algorithms that command characters to find the path between their current location and destination using the navigation mesh as the waypoint system. The waypoint mecanics in the previous section will be reworked to use a navigation mesh rather than predefined straight lines between points. This will make for more dynamic and intelligent appearing non-player characters.
