“It has naturally been objected by economists that our Law, in declaring every man and every woman to be a star, reduces society to its elements, and makes hierarchy or even democracy impossible. The view is superficial. Each star has a function in its galaxy proper to its own nature. Much mischief has come from our ignorance in insisting, on the contrary, that each citizen is fit for any and every social duty. But also our Law teaches that a star often veils itself from its nature. Thus the vast bulk of humanity is obsessed by an abject fear of freedom; the principal objections hitherto urged against my Law have been those of people who cannot bear to imagine the horrors which would result if they were free to do their own wills.” https://library.hrmtc.com/2026/01/29/it-has-naturally-been-objected-by-economists-that-our-law-in-declaring-every-man-and-every-woman-to-be-a-star-reduces-society-to-its-elements-and-makes-hierarchy-or-even-democracy-impossible-the-2/ #aStar #abjectFear #aleisterCrowley #anyAndEvery #book #book220 #cannotBear #declaring #democracy #doTheirOwnWills #eachCitizen #eachStar #economists #elements #everyMan #everyWoman #fit #free #Freedom #function #galaxy #hierarchy #horrors #humanity #ignorance #imagine #impossible #insisting #itsNature #itsOwnNature #Law #liberCCXX #liberLegis #makes #muchMischief #naturally #NewComment #objected #obsessed #onTheContrary #ourLaw #people #principalObjectionsMyLaw #proper #quote #reducesSociety #result #socialDuty #Star #superficial #teaches #TheBookOfTheLaw #vastBulk #veilsItself #view

We’re really happy to see @selimanac pushing the Defold ecosystem forward!

A new beta of Defold Graph Pathfinder is out with static 2D navmesh pathfinding support ▶️

It's a high-performance C++11 A* graph pathfinding native extension built for Defold, designed for real-time games with hundreds to thousands of moving objects:

🐢🔍 Welcome to 2014, where we reintroduce A* like it's a revolutionary new concept instead of a relic of the past. Move blobs to see how algorithms that your #CS101 professor already explained work, because nothing says cutting-edge like revisiting the basics every few years. 🎉🚀

Red Blob Games: Introduction to A*

Interactive tutorial for A*, Dijkstra's Algorithm, and other pathfinding algorithms

Check out this article by @wraitii on Medium about improving our pathfinder and it's performance for smoother gameplay.

A short performance comparison of various A* JPS implementations

For the past few days I’ve looked at the performance of 0 A.D.’s pathfinder. Our implementation currently uses A* JPS (an absolutely brilliant algorithm, honestly), and I tried out some…

An optimized Nodegraph in #Godot for pathfinding purposes :) each node is manually placed inside #trenchbroom (there are plans to automate this later on). My zombie is able to walk on these lines with the #astar class that Godot provides :D . This is inspired by Half-Life and I'll save the data as a resource in order to minimize load times (~800 nodes take about ~45 seconds), inspired by the AIN files :) . I'm happy with the result and flying monsters shouldn't be a problem at all anymore :D

AStar Pathfinding для агентов различного размера с использованием пространственного хэширования

Наверное, большинству людей, связанных с программированием игр, известен алгоритм AStar . В интернете можно найти много примеров объяснения того, как он работает, и реализации для различных языков, когда размер (далее радиус) агента, которого необходимо перемещать по импровизированной карте, известен заранее и не меняется. Но когда речь заходит о поддержке агентов, обладающих разным радиусом, увы, информации не так много. Данный пробел я постараюсь восполнить в рамках этой статьи.

Oh wow, made it! Thanks to #AoC2024 I finally - FINALLY - learned enough to implement a working version of the A* algorithm! Maybe it's nbd for you, but on this side of the fence, it was quite big thing!
