asynchronous pathfinding in javascript 

 

Easystar.js is an asynchronous A* pathfinding API written in Javascript for use in your HTML5 games and interactive projects. The goal of this project is to make it easy and fast to implement performance conscious pathfinding.

Wow, they revamped their homepage, I didn't remember it was like that

Very useful link though.

I knew something of the subject from reading an article on the Build New Games site, which shows you how to roll your own pathing.  But this is stuff from Easystar.js is so impressive, I think it would just use Easystar if I needed pathing like this, assuming it is really is easy to use and is as performant and bug free as necessary.

 

Their home page demo is very engrossing.  I poked around with it for at least 5 minutes.

Hello. Thanks for all the kind words. I have been working on the project for about a year now. My goal is to continue to improve the project, and make it accessible for as many people as possible. I am happy to answer any questions, or listen to any feedback here.

I can't be the only one that looked at that and thought "I want to make a TD game"

Hi,

I'm trying to use your definition file, but I'm new to typescript's module importing and I don't know how to use it.

When I  try to import

import EasyStar = require("easystarjs");

Atom gives me the error: "An import declaration can only be used in a namespace or module."

How should I call it from my app?

Thanks
