Platformer AI Engine v1.5 - Smart Pathfinding Solution

Version 1.5 of this popular AI toolkit introduces sophisticated enemy behavior for Scratch platformers. Designed for developers, not players, this engine allows enemies to intelligently track the player character.

Intelligent Movement & Navigation

The AI actively targets players positioned above or below. With the v1.4 update, enemies assess terrain gaps: they jump over small hazards they can cross, and reroute to find a different path if a gap is too wide. Version 1.5 specifically resolves the previous "edge glitch," ensuring smoother wall transitions.

Controls & Usage

Move: WAD / Arrow Keys / Touch
Change Map: Spacebar
Five built-in test maps allow immediate stress-testing of AI logic.

Development & Licensing

This tool is free to use in any Scratch project, provided credit is given to the original author. While the engine is robust, custom terrain may occasionally trigger edge-case bugs. It serves as an excellent educational resource for studying game AI and pathfinding algorithms.
