AB - This paper analyzes the optimal path convergence performance and evolutionary characteristics of genetic algorithms to maximize the pathfinding efficiency of game NPCs. To this end, an evolutionary computation simulation spanning a total of 90 generations was conducted within the Unity engine environment, utilizing a fitness function designed to reflect the distance to the target, survival time, and successful arrival. The analysis results confirmed that as generations progressed, both the minimum and average distances exhibited downward stabilization, while the number of successful individuals continuously increased, ultimately converging to a stable optimal solution. This study demonstrates the excellent autonomous learning capabilities of genetic algorithms in complex environments and presents the potential for future expansion into adaptive parameter control models.
