## What it is
UnitySteer is a toolkit for building steering behaviors for autonomous agents in Unity, based on OpenSteer but reworked with a Unity-like component-oriented philosophy. It provides obstacle avoidance, path following, and related movement behaviors for NPCs and simulated agents.

## Use cases
- make NPCs wander and avoid obstacles in Unity
- simulate flocking or boids behavior like starling murmurations
- implement path following for game agents
- create autonomous vehicle or character steering in Unity
- build crowd simulation with steering behaviors
- add 2D agent movement behaviors in Unity 5+

## When to choose
- you are building a Unity game or simulation that needs steering, obstacle avoidance, or flocking behaviors
- you want a component-oriented, Unity-idiomatic port of OpenSteer concepts
- you need proven 2D and 3D agent steering for Unity 5.x

## When to avoid
- you are not using the Unity game engine
- you need actively maintained software with recent updates and support for the latest Unity versions
- you need full navigation mesh pathfinding rather than local steering behaviors
- you are targeting iOS and cannot audit LINQ usage for AOT compilation issues
