Tile based pathfinding

[John_Clauso]

Allright i am about to start working on something that i have never tried before. I am making a tile based game which is set up with a two-dimensional array.

0 in the array represents wall tiles which aren't walkable.

1 in the array represents path tiles which can be walked on.

I would like to add some enemies to the game which i want to have following the character. The enemies must follow the character by walking on the shortest route possibly. I have tried looking into path-finding but it seems quite complex. If anyone has some advice on how i would go about doing this, i would very much love to hear. Maybe if someone can recommend a good tutorial that would be nice.

Thanks in advance!
