Old School, for anyone who is into nostalgia.
« on: May 12, 2019, 04:46:47 pm »
TheBob posted one of his components of an early Pac Man clone he wanted to create. The first thing he needed was a way for an AI character to navigate a maze This is what he came up with many moons ago. It includes a complete tutorial of how it works, for anyone interested in starting a similar project in QB64.

You can see a discussion thread of what prompted the post here, at the Old School Cafe: https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/qbasic/ai-navigation-of-a-path-t39502.html#p212739

Anyway, I enjoyed the trip down memory lane enough to put my own SCREEN 0 version in that thread, as well. Fun times!

Interesting comparing with RI and randomly generated mazes:

Nice Mark! Looks like a real mouse, too. It reminded me of a maze generator / solve app that Mac put together in 1990.

I have to commend you on your wide-variety of program interests and ability to create / code those interests... well, except for your apparent obsession with balls.

TheBOB also posted an old space game of his that he could not initially run n QB64, but converted. It's still missing a BLOAD file, but if he finds it, I post the link, later. It reminded me of Defender.
