How does this compare to Yuka?

I noticed there's some overlap in functionality between this and Yuka

Yuka doesn't have navmesh generation

I noticed there's some overlap in the ai functionality like path-finding

Yuka is a wider game AI toolset for more than just pathfinding. For pathfinding in particular though, the main differences are:

• the recast library provides tools for navmesh generation. Yuka doesn't provide tools for this, you provide an existing navmesh
• the detour library provides some more complex pathfinding features such as crowd simulation that afaik Yuka doesn't support

It would be perfectly valid to use a mixture of them. You could generate your navmesh offline with recast, then import it in Yuka to do pathfinding. Or use Recast and Detour for all your pathfinding needs. Both are worthy options depending on your needs 🙂

Thanks for the answer!
Any plans to incorporate more ai features from yuka into this one?
also do you know of other ai libs?

This library isn't going to step outside binding functionality from the upstream c++ recast and detour libraries to javascript.
