# Bevy Playground

Ideally, I would love to make a game similar to Kodo Tag, the not-so-famous
Warcraft III custom map/scenario.

I will probably never get there.

I've been trying for years to even get close, but I always choke on pathfinding.

I'm hoping I can leverage a good navmesh and pathfinding crate combination to do
the heavy-lifting for me _plus_ it's a fun excuse to write more Rust.

## Running

On some AMD wayland systems, you may need to force the `RADV` driver using the ICD loader:

```shell_session
AMD_VULKAN_ICD=RADV cargo run
```

  - Seems to use a lot of resources doing hardly anything
- [ ] Something to slice a tile map into a navigation mesh
  - Repeatedly?
  - Navmesh may be super overkill and astar may be sufficient?
- [ ] Smart pathfinding
