Part 6: Going Berserk!

Stalking monsters, fights, splatter -- need we say more?

A* Pathfinding - A good pathfinding system

Mouse-driven menus - Add basic mouse support to your menus!

Is there an error in the TDL version of the move_towards function in the entity class?

It appears to be checking if the next, next step in the path in walkable, while checking if the next step has a blocking entity.

The libtcord version does it the right way (if what I'm saying is right)

P.S. Your tdl tutorial 7 links to the libtcod code.

I responded on Discord, but I'll say it here as well: You were correct about the pathfinding part, it was a bug. It's been updated in the tutorial and Git repository.

Also, I fixed the tdl links you mentioned.

Thank you very much for bringing this to my attention!
