reminds me of the opensteer project. Take a look for some good (and opensource) sample code.

A lot of code, but works well. Now how do you get the player to go from one place to another avoiding obstacles?

Just noticed something, theres an ad on your title, don’t know if you want that there?

This is pretty cool, sometimes the runner gets stuck in a rut, you could say, and will never hit any obstacles again, but as long as it has an obstacle in front of it, its cool

If you want to make it look a bit slicker and remove some of the apparent dumbness you could make the current runner act as an invisible ’scout’ for another runner who can follow the correct path without the last minute decision making lol.

You could always read about backtracking if you want your AI to navigate in a labyrinth.

This is pretty cool and I can already see a few games that could be developed around it. The simplicity of it is also great. Good idea
