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. + +[repo]: https://gitea.nek0.eu/nek0/pituicat
