Tactics games, like Final Fantasy Tactics and Ogre Tactics, are turn-based combat games on square tiles. This multi-video tutorial will cover movement for a tactics game.
Player movement uses Breadth First Search (BFS) to calculate the tiles that the player’s unit can move to. NPC movement uses A* to calculate a path to the nearest player unit, and then limits the path to the unit’s maximum movement.
