Steering Behaviors

My new variant of the A* algorithm is 2x faster. I never saw anything faster among Java codes available on Internet. Only a conversion to C could perform better but it's fast enough in Java for almost all needs.
I also added a few things to customize even more the algorithm.

v2.3 (for donors only):
- I greatly improved the performance of the A* algorithm in SB_PathFinder;
- I added HEURISTIC_CHEBYSHEV to SB_PathFinder;
- I added HEURISTIC_NONE to SB_PathFinder (turns the A* algorithm into a Dijkstra algorithm);
- I added a DiagonalMove parameter to SB_PathFinder.CreateGrid;
- I added TotalCost to SB_PathFinder to get the total cost of a path;
- I replaced COST_GRID by COST_GRID_DIAG_DOUBLE, COST_GRID_DIAG_SAME and COST_GRID_DIAG_SQRT in SB_PathFinder.

Google Play Game Services 29

Library: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/google-play-game-services.45245/
Demos: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/google-play-game-services.45245/#post-277922

I revised the entire code to be compatible with the current API version (29) of Google Play Game Services. I updated the deprecated code and added the new functions. I also implemented two new features: player stats (GPlayStats and GPlayPlayerStats) and nearby connections (GPlayNearbyConnections). The Nearby Connections API allows to communicate with other devices on the same local network, so you can create a real-time multiplayer game, an instant messaging tool or a remote controller (one device is used for the display, e.g. your TV, and the other is used as a controller) over a wifi network.
