Requirements
- You need to have a good grasp on Programming Logic
- You need to have a good grasp on C#
- You need to have a good grasp on OOP
- You need to have knowledge of the Unity environment, equivalent to the course Game Development: Basic Games with C# and Unity 3D
Description
Have you ever wondered how NPCs and monsters find paths from one point to another?
In this course you are going to learn how to create Steering Systems that avoid obstacles so your agent can run a circuit. As you are learning that, you are also learning how raycasts, sensors and Gizmos work.
You will learn to code the Pathfinding Algorithms A* and Dijkstra in C# and Unity. They will be made using Unity's Tilemap System so you can very easily understand how they work and what is going on.
Then, how to apply the A* Algorithm in tridimensional environments, making a controller of agents that can make those individual agents pursue a Player.
Lastly, you'll learn how to use Unity's NavMesh and create a system where agents can jump over empty spaces, climb ladders and all.
Who this course is for:
- Programmers that want to learn pathfinding algorithms in a visual manner
- Game enthusiasts that want to learn more about AI/Game algorithms
- Game Developers

The Coding Cult is a group of 2. Though one of them is a doggo, fortunately the other one isn't.
The Instructor Henrique de Carvalho is currently a full-time Indie Game Developer and Udemy Instructor. Previously worked for 3 years teaching Computer Science as a college teacher.
Graduated in Computer Science from Universidade do Contestado (UnC). Post-graduated in Programming and Design of Digital Games, from Positivo University.
Has been working on a project not yet released for a Final Fantasy Tactics-style game since 2015 (look forward to it, I swear one day it's coming out xD).
Paçoca, the dog, doesn't have much professional accomplishments to speak of and sleeps most of the day.
