NativeGrid

NativeGrid:

A bunch of 2D data utilities for ECS and Unity.Jobs.

NativeGrid<T>:

Managed container that stores NativeArray with it's basic info to use in 2d/grid manner.

---

• Decent A*/AStar implementation

  

  Test window available under: Test>NativeGrid>Pathfinding

• Here is an example how you can store store RawTextureData (pointer to a CPU-side texture buffer) inside this NativeGrid<ARGB32>-thing and do something ambiguously useful with it, like idk, trace and draw lines/paths on that texture:

var fillLineJob = GRID.FillLine( startPixel , endPixel , fillColor );
fillLineJob.Complete();

Full example code: a relative link Note: this saves RAM because texture memory is not being duplicated on CPU-side anymore.

• Performant, allocation-free enumerator to find all neighbouring cells (NeighbourEnumerator : INativeEnumerator<int2>)

var enumerator = new NeighbourEnumerator( coord:new int2(0,1) , gridWidth:128 , gridHeight:128 );
while( enumerator.MoveNext(out int2 neighbourCoord) )
{
    /* wow, it's so easy :O */
}

• Trace lines (Bresenham's algorithm)
• Schedule your jobs to read/write to grid.Array using grid.Dependency JobHandle
