Mobile GPUs are very different from desktop GPU, to make better use of limited access to fast memory mobile GPUs use a tile based architecture. This means that the render buffer is divided into smaller tiles. All geometry is processed first while the GPU keeps track of which triangles need to be rendered to each tile.

In that project, we had some unique challenges thanks to a non-square board where tiles were optional. In addition we had to consider tile heights – and whether or not a unit could jump as high as needed. In contrast, the pathfinding in this lesson will be for a 2D square board with no missing tiles.
