About the project
A C++ library for generating navigation meshes (navmesh) from level geometry and for pathfinding, agent movement and crowd simulation at runtime. Used by Unity, Unreal, Godot and many games.
Useful for
- Generate a navmesh in a game level from arbitrary triangle geometry
- Build paths and run navmesh queries for NPCs with Detour
- Simulate crowd movement with collision avoidance using DetourCrowd

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 31, 2026, 13:07 UTC.
The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.
Stars per day
Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.
Why it’s trending
- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-31 (UTC), 11:33–12:59: 8094 → 8097 stars (+3). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +9 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- Before this, the repository barely got any stars — about 2 per day.
- Elevated gains were measured on the last 2 completed UTC days in a row. Continued growth is not guaranteed.
- GitHub Trending C++ today: #9, +24 stars.
Measured growth: the last 7 completed days
New stars over 7 days: 108. +731% versus the preceding 7 days.

Star trust
Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.
These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
