- Replaced "bevy_spatial" with "avian2d"
- Upgraded Bevy to 0.17
The bevy_spatial crate is still stuck on Bevy 0.16 and I'd like to move
forward and start playing with some of the new UI stuff. I've replaced
it with Avian physics, although I'm only using the spatial querying
facilities not the rest of the physics engine.
Avian physics has been updated for Bevy 0.17 while bevy_spatial has not.
Now that the program is switched over, I can finally pull in the new
versions of everything.
Working demonstration, but I'm not sure shape casting is the action I
want to be doing. I've just found a "shape_intersections" method in the
docs, but I'm saving my progress before making further changes.
The birdoid flocking parameters are now a resource named
`FlockingParameters`. Adjustments can be made using the Egui inspector
widget, although I plan to make a custom UI in the future.
I'm not happy with the flocking behavior so I fiddled with the program
to find these new behavior parameters. It's annoying to constantly
rebuild the program, though, and I'd like for the end-user to be able to
fiddle with it at runtime. To that end, v0.7.0 shall be the UI update.
The examples and learning plugins have outlived their usefulness, and
this repo already has substantial history in being a boids plugin. I'm
renaming the crate (and repo, but that isn't visible to git) to treat
this simply as a boids repo.
I'm finally starting on the actual Boids flocking algorithm parts.
I don't want to iterate over all the things, and Bevy doesn't seem to
have fast collision testing yet, so I've reached for bevy_spatial to
track my Boids.
