Unity 2D Joints
2 PostsUnity is a well known, well documented, and very recognised game engine. Is a multi-platform solution, and it also allows you to create games or applications aiming several platforms (iOS, Android, Web, PC, among others). Originally, Unity was focused in 3D development however, recent releases provide tool for 2D development. This tutorial will focus on explaining how 2D physics joints work and how to use them to achieve great effects (without sacrificing the game performance).View Learning Guide...

How to Adapt A* Pathfinding to a 2D Grid-Based Platformer
6 PostsIn this series, Daniel Branicki explains how to modify a standard A* pathfinding algorithm to work for platformers by taking into account the way gravity restricts vertical movement. The new algorithm could be used to create an AI character that follows the player, or to show the player a route to their goal, for example.View Learning Guide...
