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.

Despite being the first release, it's packed with features:

• Map inputs from various sources (keyboard, gamepad, etc.) to gameplay actions like Jump, Move, or Attack.
• Assign actions to different contexts like OnFoot or InCar, which are regular components.
• Activate or deactivate contexts by simply adding or removing components.
• Control how actions accumulate input from sources and consume it.
• Layer multiple contexts on a single entity, controlled by priority.
• Apply modifiers to inputs, such as dead zones, inversion, scaling, etc., or create custom modifiers by implementing a trait.
• Assign conditions for how and when an action is triggered, like "hold", "tap", "chord", etc. You can also create custom conditions, such as "on the ground".
• React on actions with observers.

I've implemented everything from UE and even added some extras. The crate also has ~90% test coverage.

Finally released! Next up, I'll be migrating the game to use it. After it I will need to implement some requested features for bevy_replicon.

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 and continue focusing on the game :)

I'm working on a life simulation game with the working title Project Harmonia and would like to share my progress.

I 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 the author 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.

The progress is incredible!

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.

It’s a crate for server-authoritative networking. We use it for Project Harmonia, but it's general-purpose.

Some highlights:

• Added the ability to defer replication, which is useful for exchanging messages or downloading assets required by the server before replication starts.
• If there is any spawning, despawning, removal, or insertion, client events wait for replication. However, with this release, it can be disabled per event.
• Fixed entity mapping when a client event is buffering.

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

I searching for a tablet for drawing and discovered this one. Anyone tried drawing on it? I wondering if the experience is good.

On the page they doesn't mention if the screen supports drawing pens, but it's possible to order an MPP pen with it, so I assume that it works with Wacom or Surface pens?

Someone has already started modding the port for Dreamcast😄
