SharpNav
A managed C# navigation mesh library
Robert Rouhani
Samuel Yuan
What is It?
- Generates a mesh of the "walkable" areas in a level
- Takes level geometry as the input
- Finds paths through that mesh
Why?
- Nothing like this in C# out there right now
- Unity Pro and other Unity plugins
- CritterAI
- Bring smarter enemies and NPCs to C#-based games
So Far
- NavMesh can be generated from triangle soup
- Voxelization
- Filtering
- Distance field generation
- Region generation
- Contour generation
- Convex polygon generation
- Detail mesh generation
- Connection data between polygons
Demo
The Future
- Finish pathfinding from Detour
- Catch up with unit tests and documentation
- (De)Serialization to a binary format
- Ability to import/export other formats, like Recast's
- Off-mesh links
- Implement jump-point searching
- Integrate with game engines like Unity (free) and MonoGame
- Include standalone editor for navigation meshes
- Make an official 1.0 release
