Zenject
Behaviour tree written on async programming.
Async programming
A Behavior Tree is a hierarchical, node-based framework used to design and control the decision-making processes of AI entities in games. It organizes complex behaviors into a modular structure, making it easier to create, manage, and debug sophisticated AI logic by defining sequences, selections, and conditions for NPC actions.
Behaviour Tree
- This is an SDK for integrating extended reality (XR) functionality. The SDK was created by Meta, the owners of Oculus, to fully utilize the capabilities of Oculus devices. Features such as passthrough, hand tracking, mixed reality scanning, and more are included in this SDK, enabling developers to create games that are significantly more engaging and functional.
Meta XR
- Provides artist-friendly workflows that let you quickly and easily create optimized graphics across a range of platforms, from mobile to high-end consoles and PCs.
