I have created a prototype for a grid based tower defense games, and i already have implemented a system that lets you place towers, there are enemies, but they simple move from left to right, in a straight line. I would like them to be able to find there way through a map with twists and turns, and help is much appreciated.

Do you mean A.I.? Or…

Assuming the maps are predefined it should be possible to have some sort of colour code or ghosted sprites that an enemy can detect and turn - you just need to indicate turning left or right. The colour could be very subtly different so it's not obvious to the player.

I dont mean AI the maps will only have one route for the enemies, but deck26 has already given me an idea.

You could pre-program it using the glide blocks. It won't require any more sprites than you need.

i just use a list full of list points

That's actually really smart, ngl. It allows for several different maps without needing overly complex code. I'm gonna try this, thanks!
