The say "Third time's the charm". They may be wrong...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To be honest: I lost track of how often I tinkered on my collision
|
||
|
|
detection and collision response algorithms, but I have rewritten them
|
||
|
|
from scratch at least four times. At least so my counter on the branch
|
||
|
|
names says...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
But after all this wailing and gnashing of teeth and lots of hair
|
||
|
|
pulled, I may finally have a universally working solution for the game.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
What helped me to find this solution? One part distance and one part
|
||
|
|
perseverance. I actually did not have the time and mental capacity to
|
||
|
|
pursue this project a lot since the last update. My apprenticeship is
|
||
|
|
coming to an end and I'm busy coding my final project and writing its
|
||
|
|
documentation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There's been going on a lot with my life: I applied for jobs (and
|
||
|
|
found myself a really neat one), had some hospital visits (nothing
|
||
|
|
too serious, so no need to worry) and also pursuing art. So I
|
||
|
|
distanced myself a little from my game.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
But every now and then I would still look at it, and at least try to
|
||
|
|
fix the issue regarding my collision detection. So tonight, after a
|
||
|
|
longer stretch of not working on the game, I looked at it again and
|
||
|
|
finally found the flaw in my algorithm. Fixing it and cleaning the
|
||
|
|
whole mess around it was then only a question of time.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So now I wish you all a good morning and happy hacking, I need to
|
||
|
|
return to my more mundane projects now.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As always: [Feel free to look at what I've done so far][repo].
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Keep calm and wash hands.
