Make a Pathfinding Game in Unity with A* AI
Welcome to Mammoth Interactive's A* course with Glauco Pires. You will learn how to make a game that uses artificial intelligence.
Take your first steps in AI here.
You will make a path-finding algorithm called 'A star.' You can use A* in many different platforms, programming languages and more.
This course's topic is bulletproof knowledge.
You will learn how to use the A* algorithm to make a 2D game in Unity. A Super Tank on a maze will find the best way to go to a point you click. The tank will collect objects along its path.

Why you need artificial intelligence in games
With artificial intelligence, you can make your games more…
- complex
- random
- interesting
- valuable
…without putting in more effort thanks to algorithms.
Old games - the very first computer games - were simple and straightforward.
These days, you must make more complex games. Players want to believe they are playing against something complex, something lifelike.
The power of the A* algorithm
The A* is the base algorithm for path finding. A* is artificial intelligence that will find a path. This algorithm has existed for decades.
A* gets one agent (intelligent being) and takes it from point A to Point B. A* finds an optimal way to move. In real life, this power is useful for airplanes and cars.
A* is also important to avoid dangers like a cliff while getting to a destination. As well - suppose a game's level has two paths. You can program your artificial intelligence player to think on its own. It can choose a better path to avoid monsters and other obstacles.
You must learn to use the A* algorithm. You will become a better game developer.
