https://github.com/zkat/big-brain - an AI plugin for bevy. I have not yet assessed it for our use case nor used it in any other projects but it seems like reasonable prior art to draw from.

Three other AI library candidates:

https://github.com/ethz-gtc/npc-engine

The beginnings of this are in as of f16b7bb. It has implications for the player, since now they can be attacked and the players state and player controller dont account for any hit state currently. Will get to those next.

This needs some checks to keep the enemies in bounds, right now they can walk out of map if player happens to be close to edge.

edit: done
