What algorithm is the behavior of mobs like in Serious Sam/ Crimsonland?

Question

Game development

Tell me, what is the movement algorithm for mobs whose goal is to attack the player. If all of them are directed at the player, then they all gather in a heap. An interesting mob movement algorithm is like in crimsonland. I also read that somewhere there is an article about how the behavior of mobs is implemented in serious sam.

Answer 1

Well, in crimsonland and sam, they quite get lost in a heap. And so - google Local obstacle avoidance algorithms - there are several different ones, choose which one suits you personally.

Answer 2

serious sam is now available in source codes, I don't want to pick.
