well im starting to understand it by looking at stuff online....ill say it again. A* is an algorithm that is used for pathfinding. like yknow in reviews of rts games, where they say pathfinding is good, or its bad, or whatever? thats pathfinding. i think the best breakdown of it ive found is this...http://www.gamedeveloper.com/features/19970801/pathfinding.htm bur i cant figure out exactly how im supposed to do the heuristic estimate...yeah, i might pass Independant Study this quarter after all...
