Porting to Unity IV: Pathfinding
Fairly straightforward work this week, porting pathfinding code from C++ to C#. The first two ports were of the basic low-level pathfinding functionality, namely A* on a grid (SearchGrid) and a graph (SearchGraph). This is the code shown in this post
The other ports were of the higher level wrappers that utilize both of the above. There's a "basic" wrapper and an "overworld" wrapper. The basic wrapper is used as a reference to evaluate other wrappers and uses a dense grid, so it takes the longest but it would return the best results.
The overworld wrapper is the one in this post.
The performance currently, without any sort of profiling, is about 1ms per overworld path, in the Unity Editor where I'm working all the time. Compared to 0.22ms for Release/C++ and 3.37ms for Debug/C++ it's not bad at all!
