you act like that’s a threat! i love broccoli. but also saeyoung- but we wouldn’t let anything happen to him.

(also i’m back! with my newly regained love for mysmes i thought id revive this blog a little, so ill be answering asks! ive also improved art wise so,,, answering more confidently :’)

(tumblr also ruins quality im sorry in advance)

hey all!  i just ran a stress test of lure’s new collision system and it’s stable enough to go ahead with.  here we can see a readout of its fitness up to speeds of 1000 pixels per frame.

as the boat bounces around, it identifies the point of collision on a 2d grid.

purple/white lines show which solid obstacle the point of collision is associated with.  green lines show the approximate slope of the surface of the obstacle at that point.  dark blue/black lines show the normal line, a line at right angles away from the surface.

using this data, the boat can figure out how to bounce around when it hits things like islands, piers, fish, and other boats!

the fps does start to tank as the tests go on but that’s caused by the massive number of points in working memory (200,000 onscreen right now) for drawing all the lines onscreen, and isnt actually due to the physics engine whatsoever.  if i were smarter with my drawing i could cut that out entirely.

I’ve been given the go ahead by my boss!
