🎮 Bevy Enhanced Input 0.1.0 is out!

It's a crate for dynamic and contextual input mappings for Bevy, inspired by Unreal Engine Enhanced Input.

I really like the UE approach and decided to bring it to Bevy. See the readme for details.

Despite being the first release, it's **packed** with features. I've implemented everything from UE and even added some extras. The crate also has ~90% test coverage.

Next up, I'll be migrating #projectharmonia to use it.

Over the past two weeks, I have been working on an input management plugin.

LWIM crate is good, but I wanted to try a different approach inspired by the Unreal Engine Enhanced Input.

If you have never used it, I explained the approach in the README, where you can also find a link to UE's documentation.

I finished the implementation and added examples, but I still need to write tests and improve the documentation. Planning to release it soon.

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.
