About Faramira
The title of this site, Faramira, is a combination of the names of my first two children. Far(din) Amira. Now, I have a third one, and I am in a dilemma about the title of this site!
I am the only one maintaining this site. I write all my tutorials, do the coding, apply SEO, publish and take the necessary steps to maintain a good page speed. As I do these, I continuously keep learning new knowledge.

Pathfinding Using C# in Unity
In this four-part series of tutorials, I go in-depth to solving the pathfinding problem using C# in Unity.
Pathfinding is the plotting of the most optimal route between two points by a computer application. The most optimal path is usually associated with identifying the course that best meets the problem’s objective. It could be finding the shortest, the cheapest, the fastest, or other criteria defined by the problem between two points in an extensive network of points.
Creating a Jigsaw Puzzle Game in Unity
In this four-part tutorial series, I go in-depth to show how to create a jigsaw puzzle game using C# in Unity. We start with the basics of the Bezier curve, implement Bezier curves in Unity, then move on to creating jigsaw tiles from an existing image using the Bezier curve, then to create a jigsaw board from an image and then finally create the jigsaw game in Unity.
