There was a problem hiding this comment.
Thanks for the split, main's git log will look better when squashing these individually.
Being a native bevy plugin, avian provides support for new bevy versions quickly and is not plagued by dependency incompatibilities (like requiring rapier and bevy to use the same version of glam).

- [x] Waiting for StarArawn/bevy_ecs_tilemap#634 - [x] Depends on #405, as there is not even a git version of bevy_rapier with support for 0.19, and there may not be for some time due to the dependency incompatibilities noted in dimforge/bevy_rapier#694 - [x] Decide how to deal with inconsistent sprite ordering (caused by the avian migration, not Bevy 0.19) ~With the platformer example I'm seeing inconsistent sprite ordering between the player and the chests after the update to 0.19. See #404 (comment) I've also given this a superficial test with a simple personal project. I didn't notice any obvious issues here.

Prepares for the Bevy 0.19 update in #404. As noted in dimforge/bevy_rapier#694, rapier skipped the glam version used by Bevy 0.19, so making them work together is cumbersome (and not even using a git version of bevy_rapier would work). Using avian instead of bevy_rapier allows us to update bevy without waiting for a solution and avoids similar problems in the future.
As far as I can tell, nothing about the game feels significantly different with this change applied. One ugly hack was necessary to make it work correctly, marked by a comment.
