landmass

A Rust crate to provide a navigation system for video game characters to walk around levels.

What is a navigation system?

A navigation system is essentially the collection of tools needed for robust agent movement in video games. This generally involves 4 things:

• Path finding (e.g. A-star)
• Path simplification (e.g. SSFA)
• Steering (e.g. boids)
• Local collision avoidance

In addition, managing agents and the navigation meshes they walk on can be cumbersome, so a navigation system ideally will handle that for you.

Generally it is difficult to find a full, free system to handle all of these for you, and the goal is for landmass to work relatively easily with other languages so it can be used anywhere.
