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.

To Do

• Basics (the stuff I can do just about anywhere)
  • Window
  • Movement
  • Flipping sprites
  • Camera
  • SFX
    • Examples:
      • https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/blob/main/examples/audio/audio.rs
      • https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/blob/main/examples/audio/audio_control.rs
      • https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/blob/main/examples/audio/spatial_audio_2d.rs
  • Y-sort
    • Layers?
  • UI stuff
  • Multiplayer
    • Ambient game engine?
      • I would like in-browser (and mobile) playability and multiplayer
    • Lightyear?
  • Tile system
  • Basic map
    • In-game editing?
  • Enemies
  • "Position delta" pathfinding
• 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
