Next up, we'll implement the A* algorithm in a Unity environment using C#. The A* Pathfinding algorithm is widely used in games and interactive applications even though there are other algorithms, such as Dijkstra's algorithm, because of its simplicity and effectiveness. We've briefly covered this algorithm previously, in Chapter 1, The Basics of AI in Games, but let's review the algorithm again from an implementation perspective.
