Dead Reckoning Using Play Patterns in a Simple 2D Multiplayer Online Game

Algorithm 2

A*.

(1)   if the desired A* end destination location has changed since the last update then

(2)    recalculate an A* path to the desired location for 𝑉^→_follow and 𝑉^→_bravery.

(3)   end if

(4)   if the next A* node in the path is reached then

(5)    increment the desired node location to the next node in the A* path.

(6)   end if

(7)   Use the next desired node location to calculate the vectors for 𝑉^→_follow and 𝑉^→_bravery.

(8)   if the player is in battle then

(9)    𝑉^→_𝑟=𝑉^→_follow×𝑞+𝑉^→_bravery×1−𝑞

(10) else

(11)  𝑉^→_𝑟=𝑉^→_follow×𝑟+𝑉^→_align×(1−𝑟)

(12) end if
