tower-defense

separate

Build a tower defense: enemies pathing along lanes, wave spawning, towers that auto-target and fire, an economy, and lives. Use for a tower-defense/wave-defense game, or balancing waves and economy.

When to use

• Use when building a game where the player **places towers** that automatically attack
• Use when designing wave composition/pacing, tower targeting priorities, or the gold economy.

When not to use

• games where the player directly controls a shooter
• free-form base building with needs
• implementing the pathfinding algorithm itself
