“Oh, I see.“ she giggles lightly “Well, sorry if I explained it badly.“

He shakes his head “Nah, I misunderstood due to all the lack of concept of altitude talk or whatever it was.”

“Ah, I see.“ she nods lightly “Yeah, I don’t really know how else you’d avoid those traffic light above the streets in a top down game. Aside from trying to take a completely different route, I guess.“

“Yeah, exactly why I wondered why you said there’d be no concept of altitude. I guess we completely misunderstood each other there” He chuckles “At least that makes coding enemy movement MUCH easier”

relena-dark

“Hehe yeah… I suppose so.“ she nods “No need for huge pathfinding things in this one.“
