miNav AI Pathfinding Library - Version 0.1
Posted: Fri Jan 25, 2008 4:51 am
Hi everyone!
Recently I made this AI Pathfinding Library to submit in a portfolio to try and get into University based on my programming skill and not my high school marks. I assume that this library must have been pretty good because it worked and now I'm a uni student! (still really happy about that).
I decided that the next best thing to do now was to release the library. I've released it under the MIT license (aka do-whatever-ya-want-just-don't-claim-you-made-it license).
You can download the library here: http://www.mindinsomnia.com/Gallery/Pro ... av-0.1.zip
I also made a quick tutorial (threw it together in about a day) on how to use the library, which can be found here: http://www.mindinsomnia.com/tutorials/miNav/
If you have any questions/suggestions/bugs-reports concerning the library just let me know.
As I say on my website, if people like this and think it deserves improvements then I'll release an updated version with more features (if you got any ideas on what could be added post them and I'll take them into consideration when I'm making the update).
PS: I just learnt that there is another AI Pathfinding Project called IrrAI. This project is not meant to directly compete with it, it's a very different AI Pathfinding Library. It uses a different algorithm, is all preprocessed (not realtime) and is very generic so it can be used with absolutely anything. If you want to use AI pathfinding for your Irrlicht project, your probably better off going with IrrAI.
