pathfinding problem

[daydreamer]

Hi anyone made 2d pathfinding before
current code enemy travels in labyrinth several squares until it get stuck in a corner
I use lots of .IFs for changing directions when hitting an non-empty square

I read up on pathfinding now,so trying a new start with some start POINT and end POINT and some check starting delta.x,delta.y
maybe pattern around current.xy POINT would be better way to base direction changing?

There's a Direct2D Simple Path Animation Sample here:
