package de.bsommerfeld.pathetic.api.pathing

Core pathfinding contracts.

Pathfinder is the entry point: it takes a start and target PathPosition and returns a PathfindingSearch, the handle to the possibly asynchronous operation (result access, completion callbacks, abort). INeighborStrategy defines the offset vectors used to expand a node during the search; NeighborStrategies bundles the cardinal and full-3D presets. PathfindingProgress carries the start, current, and target positions of a search in flight.
