My contributions

Pathfinding

When creating this project I thought that it would be a fun challenge to create my own pathfinding alogrithm based on the breadth-first search (BFS) algorithm.

Room system

When developing the pathfinding algorithm, I observed significant lag when enemies attempted to locate the player from across the entire map. To address this issue, I decided to divide the map into rooms. Each enemy is only permitted to initiate pathfinding when the player enters the respective room.
