Recast/Detour VS webrtc-unreliable

RecastNavigation

Detour is open source (zlib) so anyone has access to a proven RVO implementation. I believe Unreal and Unity still use Recast/Detour for navmesh and avoidance, but it looks like Godot cooked up their own.

https://github.com/recastnavigation/recastnavigation There is also a library called Yuka that is web based that can generate navmeshes i think: https://mugen87.github.io/yuka/docs/NavMesh.html

Hi, wanted to post about my rust project. I created Rust Lang bindings to the famous https://github.com/recastnavigation/recastnavigation . My library, Divert, currently provides the resources to interact with the Detour, 3d mesh path finding, capabilities of Recast Navigation. In the future, I hope to implement bindings for the Recast side of RecastNavigation which facilitates generating navigation meshes from input geometry to be used by detour. Most of my hobby work revolves around reverse engineering video games, so I needed the capabilities of Detour for my Rust program to navigate in game geometry. I would characterize myself as quite new to Rust still, so constructive criticism is highly welcome. I imagine, I did some really weird stuff while designing this crate, and I bet someone can let me know here ;)

Recast & Detour for navigation meshes (though Rust does have Detour bindings)

For path finding there is at least https://github.com/recastnavigation/recastnavigation

Recast is used in Unreal and many other games.

https://github.com/recastnavigation/recastnavigation Would be.

The Cargo.toml on GitHub has the optional dependency specified correctly.

I use WebRTC for multiplayer, and Rust has a great library (webrtc-unreliable) To be fair, C++ has libdatachannel which I like using too.

You can, in theory, get UDP-like characteristics out of a different web API - with a WebRTC datachannel configured to be unreliable and unordered. I haven't seen anybody use that API just because it's a pretty big pain to use. The developer of Agar IO called it too hard to use in a HackerNews comment, but nowadays there's simpler libraries than the ones he had in 2016 like webrtc-unreliable and libdatachannel. You still need to run a STUN/TURN server and the integration is easier than it was back then, but still much harder than raw UDP sockets though.

webrtc-unreliable: Provides an async API to a UDP-like transport over WebRTC

You can do this today with https://github.com/kyren/webrtc-unreliable

Take a look at webrtc-unreliable. I haven't tried it, but it claims to implement just a simple subset of webrtc to get udp-like functionality.
