Tower Defense
A playbook for tower defense — enemy pathing, wave spawning, tower targeting, and the economy that ties them together. This is a compositional skill: it orchestrates pathing, AI, and UI into a TD loop. It does not re-teach pathfinding; it defines the systems and the balance levers (DPS vs. HP vs. income) that decide whether a TD is tense or trivial.
When to use
- Use when building a game where the player places towers that automatically attack waves of enemies following a path, spends earned currency to expand/upgrade, and loses if too many enemies leak through.
- Use when designing wave composition/pacing, tower targeting priorities, or the gold economy.
When not to use: the player directly controls a shooter → fps-shooter. Free-form base
building with needs → survival-crafting. For the pathfinding algorithm itself, use game-ai.
