No, I did it in Unity3D a while ago.

You seem to have that backwards. Doubles are more exact than floats, that's why they're called doubles (double precision). We use floats because they use less space, because our rendering and physics libraries use floats (not that much point using doubles if they just have to be downcast in...

I have implemented the erosion technique described in that paper, so feel free to ask me any questions you have about it.

My understanding is bullet uses a fixed timestep internally - stepSimulation updates the interpolation between those timesteps. But we should look into what that timestep is.

Sure, that's a good idea.

IDEA's default is 120, which is probably still too short.

I've written up a quick overview of the Entity System Concepts, feedback welcome.

It's the ternary operator. Similar an if statement, "(a) ? b : c" can be read "if (a) then b else c". The difference being it is used to select a value, which is returned from the statement.

Well, just because it can't solve all of an issue doesn't mean it doesn't have some use. But I agree we shouldn't be mindless in our application of it, nor overstate its role. I think a few simple rules around stuff that can easily be applied through IDE auto-formatters aren't an issue. It...

I would ask whether there is a better way to write the method in the first place? :P

Ok, forget about chunks for a moment. You have a perlin noise function. This takes N arguments (typically 2 or 3) and returns a a value (typically around -1 to 1 I think, although from memory it can exceed those values). Perlin noise has the following features: If you provide the same...

I guess the first thing to understand is while perlin noise is useful, you can't just use it directly. It is noise, after all - all you'll get using it naively is swiss cheese. Instead what you have to do is combine multiple layers of perlin noise for different features (and potentially other...

Oh, sorry. I intended to direct that second bit of the post to dei and his vertical scaling question. :oops: Uniform scaling is easy - you would simply change the scale of the player in the player.prefab (and maybe change some camera settings). On the memory consumption, one though I had was...

I was assuming you would double the height of a chunk to maintain scale. But fair enough. dei That is honestly a pretty big task. The world being a grid of 1 x 1 x 1 cells is an assumption built in across the board. The major involved systems are the chunk tessellator and physics integration...

I have thought about it a little. What I would do is extend BulletCharacterMovementSystem so that it builds up a list of the individual blocks (or entities) being collided with during the movement, and then sends a bump event to them. Then the entity for the block can have a component/system...

8 times more, actually. Assuming you double the number of cubes vertically to maintain scale.

Technically the current implementation is slight bug, but I know understand why it happens and how to fix it if desirable (it is because the player still steps up and down while they are not grounded).

I'm not sure I follow the example. I guess "vert" is the vertical axis (not sure what you plan to use for the two horizontal axes). It isn't clear whether the ground floor or roof should end up on the top or bottom though? Also not sure what the 'r' means in '1r'. But presumably what we end up...

Working on something potentially adoorable.
