Path Finding, Collision Avoidance and Steering in RTS Games

This is a demonstration of unit pathfinding and movement/steering strategies used in RTS games. This game engine is entirely in HTML5 and Javascript.

You can try the demo at http://www.adityaravishankar.com/projects/games/pathfinding-javascript-rts-demo/

Units use A* to plot a path and avoid collision using a 'soft collision' radius. They also ask static units to move aside.

You can read more about the algorithm on my blog.

This is still a work in progress. Any comments, feedback (including bugs), is appreciated.

To see a playable recreation of the original Command and Conquer, please go to http://www.adityaravishankar.com/projects/games/command-and-conquer/

This page works best on Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox. The images can take a little while to load so please be patient.
