Hi! Your game looks neat so far, nice blog/news post about it. I have to try and be more social myself. Regards your tracing the quickest path problem, what you have is a classic grid traversal problem, assuming your screen is laid out in a grid with each square an optional block. It can easily be overcome by using A* path finding with a Manhattan heuristic. see this site for a nice example of A*, https://qiao.github.io/PathFinding.js/visual/
Good luck with your game, I will defo be following your progress.
