🧭 Top-Down Game (C#)

A 2D top-down game developed in C#, focused on intelligent character navigation, interactive scenes.

🎮 Key Features

• Character Movement Using A-star Algorithm
  The player moves through the game world using a custom A* pathfinding system, enabling smart and obstacle-aware navigation.

• Tilemap-Based World Design with Tiled
  The game world is built using Tiled, a flexible tilemap editor. The maps are parsed and rendered in-game to create modular and efficient level layouts.

• Multi-Scene Environment
  The game is composed of several scenes, each with interactive elements and collectible objects.

• Dynamic Visibility System
  A cave area is initially obscured by a post-processing effect to simulate darkness. When the player collects a torch, the effect is removed and visibility is restored.
