This was initially made to tweak bullet trails and particle generators for optimization and upon seeing this, my wife requested a sandbox. Thought the community would enjoy it as well.

This is awesome!

Can you give any tips on how you achieved the smooth pathfinding?

Specifically, how you got the sprites to re-calculate the path so fast?

Thanks for the positive feed back. It does run on mobile but for some reason the the magnet/ship doesnt want to respond well, might just change it to a drag/drop object for the sandbox version.

The missiles have bullet behavior and path-finding is "Every Tick -> Rotate Towards Position -> Magnet"

The tough part (for me) was getting the bullet trails to work.

It is only a few events but would be a lot to explain here, so if your really interested I can provide a capx.

Also, not sure if you figured it out, but the turrets are drag/drop so you can re-position them.

Very interesting, great job! I would definitely be interested in seeing how you got the trails working, I've had quite a hard time getting trails to look "good" or natural, and those look great.

I will post a screen shot of the events tomorrow, thanks for the input

cool idea... I could actually see a game in navigating through those missiles especially when they are slow <50... it's pretty fun!
