Jumper
A fast, lightweight, and easy-to-use Lua pathfinding library for grid-based games.
What is Jumper?
Jumper is a pathfinding library for grid-based games, offering fast and lightweight algorithms to compute navigation paths. It solves the problem of efficiently finding routes for game characters or entities across tile-based maps. The library is designed with a clean, chainable interface to simplify integration into game projects.
Game developers working with Lua-based projects, particularly those creating grid-based games like RPGs, strategy games, or simulations. It's ideal for developers who need efficient pathfinding without heavy dependencies.
Developers choose Jumper for its pure Lua implementation, which ensures compatibility across frameworks, and its focus on performance with algorithms like Jump Point Search. Its easy-to-use API reduces development time compared to implementing pathfinding from scratch.
