This repository contains the RVO2 framework, as described below, along with Cython-based Python bindings. Its home is GitHub. New updates are released there. There are no explicit version numbers -- all commits on the master branch are supposed to be stable.
Building requires CMake and Cython to be installed.
Run pip install -r requirements.txt to install the tested version of Cython, or run
pip install Cython to install the latest version.
Run python setup.py build to build, and python setup.py install to install.
Alternatively, if you want an in-place build that puts the compiled library right in
the current directory, run python setup.py build_ext --inplace
Only tested with Python 2.7, 3.4, and 3.6 on Ubuntu Linux. The setup.py script uses CMake to build the RVO2 library itself, before building the Python wrappers. If you have success (or failure) stories, please share them!
To build on Mac OSX, give an export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.xx command first, before
running python setup.py build. Replace 10.xx with your version of OSX, for example 10.11.
The Vector2 and Line classes from the RVO2 library are not wrapped. Instead,
vectors are passed as tuples (x, y) from/to Python. Lines are passed as tuples
(point x, point y, direction x, direction y).
#!/usr/bin/env python
import rvo2
sim = rvo2.PyRVOSimulator(1/60., 1.5, 5, 1.5, 2, 0.4, 2)
# Pass either just the position (the other parameters then use
# the default values passed to the PyRVOSimulator constructor),
# or pass all available parameters.
a0 = sim.addAgent((0, 0))
a1 = sim.addAgent((1, 0))
a2 = sim.addAgent((1, 1))
a3 = sim.addAgent((0, 1), 1.5, 5, 1.5, 2, 0.4, 2, (0, 0))
# Obstacles are also supported.
o1 = sim.addObstacle([(0.1, 0.1), (-0.1, 0.1), (-0.1, -0.1)])
sim.processObstacles()
sim.setAgentPrefVelocity(a0, (1, 1))
sim.setAgentPrefVelocity(a1, (-1, 1))
sim.setAgentPrefVelocity(a2, (-1, -1))
sim.setAgentPrefVelocity(a3, (1, -1))
print('Simulation has %i agents and %i obstacle vertices in it.' %
(sim.getNumAgents(), sim.getNumObstacleVertices()))
print('Running simulation')
for step in range(20):
sim.doStep()
positions = ['(%5.3f, %5.3f)' % sim.getAgentPosition(agent_no)
for agent_no in (a0, a1, a2, a3)]
print('step=%2i t=%.3f %s' % (step, sim.getGlobalTime(), ' '.join(positions)))Calling Python-RVO2 from multiple threads has not been tested. However, code that
may take longer to run (doStep(), processObstacles() and queryVisibility(...))
release the Global Interpreter Lock (GIL) so that other Python threads can run while
RVO2 is processing.
