Dev Update #8 - Pathfinding

Shape Engine
A downloadable Game Engine Demo for Windows and Linux

I was silent for a few months but kept working on Shape Engine. I just had nothing to show and wanted to keep moving. Now I finally have something worth showing :) I implemented a simple pathfinding system based on the A* algorithm. I wanted to test how performant it is, and I was surprised by what it can handle! In the future, I might work on a geometric-based pathfinding algorithm because Shape Engine is about all shapes ;)

That's it for this dev update, hopefully the next updates don´t take that long ;)
