Why we included this project

Java developers who want NPCs with believable movement and decision-making have a solid option here. The framework covers the techniques games actually reach for: steering behaviors and formation motion for movement, A* pathfinding with hierarchical layers, path smoothing, and interruptible execution, plus finite state machines and behavior trees for the decision side. It ships as a libGDX extension, but you can wire it into other engines as long as you keep the libGDX collections it depends on, which are tuned for mobile by limiting garbage and avoiding boxing. The test suite is worth reading too; it shows how each technique is meant to be configured.
