Hello everyone, I'm having a problem finding information about games and which search space they use. I want to know about games that use navmeshes/waypoints/grids in their pathfinding algorithms. Could anyone help me?
A search for A* in games will net you more material than you could ever read simply because most games that have locomotion of any sort use A*. The other use for search space algos is planners as Alex said.

I've been googling a lot on A* in games, but haven't found much game specific information. But while searching for waypoint+pathfinding+games I found the youtube videos about waypoint based pathfiding and there where a couple of examples on games that uses WP in pathfinding so I guess I'll continue from there. Thanks for the help!
