Implement a Generic Pathfinder in Unity using C#

In this tutorial, we will implement a generic pathfinder in Unity using C#. We will approach the tutorial from a basic 2D grid-based pathfinding to a more robust generic pathfinder that we can use for a graph-based data structure. We will then apply our pathfinder to a variety of pathfinding problems.

Pathfinding

Pathfinding is the plotting of the most optimal route between two points by a computer application. The most optimal path is usually associated with identifying the path that best meets the problem’s…
