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:

AMD_VULKAN_ICD=RADV cargo run

  • Y-sort
    • Layers?
  • UI stuff
  • Multiplayer
    • Ambient game engine?
      • I would like in-browser (and mobile) playability and multiplayer
    • Lightyear?

  • Basic map
    • In-game editing?
  • Enemies
  • "Position delta" pathfinding
    • https://github.com/vleue/vleue_navigator?tab=readme-ov-file
• Profiling
  • 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
  • pathfinding crate?
• ???
• Profit
