◆ ApplyGridGraphEndpointSpecialCase()

void ApplyGridGraphEndpointSpecialCase ( )
private

Special case necessary for paths to unwalkable nodes right next to walkable nodes to be able to use good heuristics.

This will find all unwalkable nodes in all grid graphs with walkable nodes as neighbours and set the cost to reach them from each of the pivots as the minimum of the cost to reach the neighbours of each node.

◆ PickNRandomNodes()

void PickNRandomNodes ( int  count,
List< GraphNode buffer 
)
private

Pick N random walkable nodes from all nodes in all graphs and add them to the buffer.

Here we select N random nodes from a stream of nodes. Probability of choosing the first N nodes is 1 Probability of choosing node i is min(N/i,1) A selected node will replace a random node of the previously selected ones.

Member Data Documentation

◆ costs

uint [] costs = new uint[8]
private

Costs laid out as n*[int],n*[int],n*[int] where n is the number of pivot points.

Each node has n integers which is the cost from that node to the pivot node. They are at around the same place in the array for simplicity and for cache locality.

cost(nodeIndex, pivotIndex) = costs[nodeIndex*pivotCount+pivotIndex]
