Build a Tower Defense Game using C++, Raylib & A* Pathfinding
Build a maze-style tower defense game with Raylib (a simpler, immediate-mode alternative to SFML) and a from-scratch A* pathfinding implementation: enemies navigate a grid using open/closed sets and a Manhattan-distance heuristic, and legally reroute around every tower a player places, since placing a tower re-runs A* to make sure the goal never gets sealed off entirely.
