Some awesome Defold extensions from
@selimanac have been updated 🧡

🔍 Graph Pathfinder and A* for pathfinding
💥 DAABBCC and DAABBCC3D for high-performance AABB collision handling

Each one is fast, maintained, and well documented - exactly the kind of tools we love to see in the Defold community!

Check out those and more from Selim in our Asset Portal:

Some _very_ early algorithm concept/pre-viz sketches/explorations for the Tron Legacy (2010) intro sequence. They informed another concept/approach in which we applied a similar algorithm to progressively trace out edges of an initially invisible and super detailed 3D city mesh. This required a lot of effort to retopologize the (huge) geometry supplied and creating a multi-res navigation graph to prioritize long/major edges over shorter ones, filter out undesired edges/directions, thereby creating a visual reveal in which the agents progressed from tracing out super low-res boxes to high-res architectural features... Eventually, both of these prototypes weren't used though, and the director & team opted for a more stripped down solution with much fewer agents/traces, created in Houdini...

Really enjoying learning about #pathfinding algorithms and how to apply them to #tilemaps in #Godot.

If I had a grid with grid-based movement, how would I go about finding all paths from a given spot with a given length?

Typical #pathfinding solutions seem to find the shortest path from point A to point B. But I want to find a list of all point B's where the path from point A is a length of (say) 5 (e.g. 5 grid cells).

Does something like this exist?

We’re really happy to see @selimanac pushing the Defold ecosystem forward!

A new beta of Defold Graph Pathfinder is out with static 2D navmesh pathfinding support ▶️

It's a high-performance C++11 A* graph pathfinding native extension built for Defold, designed for real-time games with hundreds to thousands of moving objects:
