I was thinking about building a tower defence game and was trying to find the best way
to find the shortest path to the other side.
How can i do this?
I know I need to re evaluate the path on every move due to people adding more towers.
I am thinking I need to use visualtreehelper to find what is in the way.
This might be better asked at https://gamedev.stackexchange.com/
You don't need to re-calculate the path all the time, only when a tower is created or destroyed.
The A* algorithm would be commonly used, there are many samples around. Making your game tile-based would simplify its use, as each tile would be a node, and it's trivial to work out the connections (i.e. up/down/left/right, providing the node isn't blocked).

I want to make a simple game where each player's score is stored in a database or server and you can see other player's scores and nicknames on the leaderboard.
It is not necessary that the score in the leaderboard be updated every second, I think an update every 10 minutes will be enough.
What is the simplest and cheapest solution to this problem?
You have multiple choices (all of these are in a way free)
Use a service like PlayFab or another backend platform for games
Use Firebase directly from unity
Use your own HTTP API with a database. For example
Go and Postgresql (I made a small API during a game jam, the quality of the code is bad but you can get the idea)
AWS Lambda and DynamoDB (without provisioned capacity)

I'm new in gamedev and now trying my best in creating my first game. The problem is that i cannot understand why unity makes my sprites' resolution terrible. I've created a sprite which looks nice but once I try to start it in unity remote it hurts my eyes. I'll attach screenshots. I've read a lot about that problem but haven't found the solution yet.
How it looks like in unity
How I made it in AI
Press on the sprite in Unity and change the compression to NONE, if it's still a bit blurry try to change the filter or the wrap mode. Make sure that your sprite is in Texture type: Sprite 2d and UI

I have a requirement where i need to get all possible typos(if not all most) that can occur for a possible word. For example (word : user). User can type "usre" or "yser" something like that.
Currently i don't have anything in mind as to where i start. If anybody has already faced the similar situation and came with the solution, it would be helpful if you can help get kick start
Thanks in Advance.
Here is a wild idea.
Create a graph using the layout of a QWERTY keyboard (assuming that is the layout the user will be using), where every key will be a node and every node will be connected to the adjacent keys/nodes. For instance, the the node s will be connected with q,w,e,a,d,z,x and c.
Now, for a given word, substitute one or more letter with all neighboring nodes from the graph. So, the word user can produce uwer, uaer, uder and so on.
I hope this will help you.

I've been wanting to write my own version of DVD override software for some time now. I really want it to behave like AnyDVD, except much less overhead and not near as many options.
Basically I want to be able to insert a DVD on my Media Center and have the option of "Start Main Movie" or "Go to Main Menu".
I don't need to decrypt CSS (at least I don't think I have to). I just want to override the PUOPS (prohibited user operations) so that I can navigate anywhere on the disc.
I'm decent with c#, but I've never worked with a DVD drive or playback before. I've scoured the web but found nothing.
Has anyone out there done this before? What resources can I look to for this task?
Thanks for a nudge in the right direction.
