Migrated navigation from oxidized_navigation to vleue_navigator.

It uses the novel Polyanya algorithm instead of the classical A*.

I faced a few issues during the migration, but @FrancoisMockers helped me resolve them all.
He even dumped the navmesh of the house I built in the game and created a test named after the project 😅

I also implemented skipping points that the agent has projected past to prevent jitter when multiple points are close to each other.

This week, I was fixing bugs (there were a lot!) and refactoring.

I finally migrated the game's physics from XPBD to Avian. The migration was seamless since we're only using it for picking, collision checking, and navigation for now 😅

It's worth noting that I also switched from Avian's global Position component to Bevy's relative Transform, as the global Position breaks when there are multiple cities.

I’ve finally added the ability to edit and remove previously spawned walls, along with an undo/redo system.

Implementing the undo/redo was a bit challenging. If a command spawns or despawns an entity, it needs to be tracked to update the history with the correct ID. Additionally, since the game is networked, I had to introduce the concept of pending history commands. These commands are only added to the history after server confirmation.

Got sick last week, finally back to the game.
Working on undo/redo system.
Also continue replacing the old models. The old bench is on the left, and the new one is on the right.

Added initial support for roads, reusing some logic from the walls implementation.

Currently, I'm using segments for road creation, but I plan to add Bezier curves to allow for curved walls and roads. Maybe I should use Bezier curves even for straight lines 🤔

I also need to use a texture without road markings for connection islands and implement rounding for turns.

But wanted to share the current progress :)

Our game stylistic changed during the development and @YaraGardaria has decided to redo some old models :)

Old is on the left, new is on the right.

Played with rendering today. I found that Tonemapping::AcesFitted better fits the game aesthetic. With a little bit of bloom and an environment map, it looks much nicer.

My wife also made more placeable objects, and I finished refactoring into new features from Bevy 0.14. Substates are so convenient!

Added placeable carousel made by @YaraGardaria.

I like how easy it is to integrate new objects when the logic for them is already written. All I need to do is add a metadata file in RON format and the object will be available in the game.

Added sandbox support 😅

While I am refactoring the code to new features from Bevy 0.14, my wife continues making models.

I think Bevy can look attractive. However, I am still not fully satisfied with my lighting configuration and will come back to it later.
