That is the easiest way to do it.

That seems like as good of a pre-made model as I'm going to get.

@PearsonArtPhoto looking good

@DMGregory thanks, I was off to bed when I saw your message. I'm still working on it and would appreciate any help you can offer.

Will put Starman in soon.

This is going to be a bit bigger then I really wanted, might be a bit big for the web, but...

Maybe I'll just put it on itch.io or something.

@Dom sorry for the delay. Still game?

@DMGregory yep still not sure about the calculations for the bounce

What I'm doing at the moment is:

When the collision occurs at 45.35 frames, I take the 0.35. I find the horizontal or vertical distance from the boundary it's heading towards, call it distance. I divide distance by 0.35 and then multiply it by the remainder of the frame (1 - 0.35 = 0.65). So I end up with the remaining portion of distance it should travel.

Is this right?

I'm only working on the axis that the collision occurs on. With the other, I use the standard kinematic equation to find it's next position (I'll probably need to work on that a bit for corners, but only focusing on the main collision for now).

"The boundary" meaning the full extents of the object's movement for the frame? (ie. its velocity per frame)?

The boundaries are at fixed coordinates (but are relative to the origin for the purposes of the quadratic calculations), and are only hit on the frame when the object will cross them

for example:

the frames occur at various points along the red line inside the boundaries

actually I have an example of what I'm trying to achieve

Then no, the distance that you want to break into two pieces and reflect is the velocity of the object, not its distance to the boundary.

eg. if in this frame, the object "wanted" to move (+2, -5) and it hits a floor 20% of the way through that movement, then it should rebound to 80% of its original vertical displacement for the frame. (ie. it goes down 1, hits, bounces back up 4, completing its full 5-unit vertical displacement or the frame, doubled back on itself for a net rise of 3)

Thanks a lot, it's good to hear it

that was my initial approach, but I dropped it ages ago because it appeared to be wrong, but it's now more likely my calculations were wrong

this is what I'm doing

most of it works, but there are some ugly glitches

that's a working example, not mine

@DMGregory after a collision I run it through the trajectory mapping function again using the new position, angle and velocity. What should the new velocity and angle be calculated from? The angle and position of collision and the remaining velocity we just covered, or from the new end position and an adjusted angle after the collision plus the starting velocity?

That's confusing, what I'm trying to ask is where should I get the new values from to plug into the trajectory mapping function again?

I'll work on the correcting the velocity calculation anyway, thanks a tonne

I'm not sure I understand your question. The new velocity is just the reflection of the old velocity.

yeah I think I've got it figured out in my head, just need to get it accurately into code :)

Good luck!

I have a wall in side of the road and the player passes through it when the player speed is fast but how can I stop the player from passing through it?

Like in subway subway game it has walls in the side. In my game also I have walls in the side just like it

But my player is passing through it when the speed of player is fast

You should use the RigidBody.collisionDetectionMode property, to setup a RB with continuous collision detection

You should set this property to CollisionDetectionMode.ContinuousDynamic for fast moving objects

The only downside is that Continuous Collision Detection is only supported for Rigidbodies with box, sphere and capsule colliders

And it has a significant impact on performance..

I need to add a few controls, and I'm struggling with the best place to add them. I'm thinking upper left, but I wanted to get a second opinion.

BTW, I'm finding that using a ScritableObject as a variable that can be seen and used in many places is a really neat trick.

Considering purchasing this UI pack. I suspect I should probably do something a bit more then just using Kenney stuff, although I suppose I could get started with that.

This is what happens when you let 14 hungry goats have after a pile of feed on a table

Oh yeah. And a miniature horse

@Tyyppi_77 Good enough.

No problem.

Does Assimp have to be built in release mode?

Or debug mode?

Oh alright.

Because i tried loading a couple of models with it, but it doesn't seem to work..

And i read somewhere that you need to build assimp in release mode to get the "regular" library

Is there a simple tutorial on assimp?

Even just loading a cube, without textures

There was an Opengl sample, with C and Opengl

But i didn't get much out of it..

There was also a c++ example that explained exactly how to load a model, but it didn't say anything on how to process the data in order to render it

Thanks man, appreciate it :D

Thank you!

So, how's GunHero going? Did you finish working on the boss scene?

Cool!

I still haven't bought it though..

Yeah

But i wanna play it :D

Well, that'd be a cool idea!

Yeah, i've done stuff like that so many times

It's kinda the same thing Josh Petrie told me some time ago: you should focus more on hard things, which are the real progress, instead of doing stuff that is not really important(fake progress).

:)

@GabrieleVierti :D

note the shadow hanging over her as she works

@Almo ahahahahahhahaha :D

@Almo I know how that feels... To be honest, I am kinda doing that now with my Crying Moon:P

@Tyyppi_77 looks good, just the play area needs to be a little bigger.

:D

Yeah, I'm in a bit of shock.

@PearsonArtPhoto ahahahahaha that is awesome man!

@Tyyppi_77 ok. I never played, so I was unsure of game pace.

@PearsonArtPhoto wow!!! :D nice!!!!

Okay, breath. Time to start working again...

Working? Why? Don't you have like infinite daily income now?

LOL.

If this keeps up, I could easily quit my day job.

But I'm not confident it will keep up.

I wouldn't expect that either. Better look at the news every day to find things people will click on and make websites for those.

howmanypeoplediedintheshootingthistime.com

The thing is, I think this did so well because I was so vested in it. Finding something that I'm vested in, and will attract people...

But I think I've got quite a bit more milking I can do of the site.

I've had a few people suggest I start a patreon for the site.

I have started work on a merchant system for my game... still got work to do (like actually making it work. I spent a while on actually figuring out what I was gonna do :P)

Putting your energy & resources where your passion also lies is usually the best way to produce good results.

I'm sorely tempted now more than ever to completely abandon Colonial Sea Trader, or at least abandon it for some time.

I might switch to a space game, which I have increasingly been wanting to do.

I think I'll set it up to toggle the UI if you click on anything that isn't a button.

Maybe a 3 state, show everything, show just the labels, and show nothing.

Need to figure out how to indicate the progress of the video too...

And of course add Starman.

And somehow I need to figure out how to monetize it...

One of Australia's canonical books on wealth advises that if you're going to go into business, or invest in a business or stocks or anything like that, make it something you're passionate about. That's for no other reason than you will simply know more about that area than nearly anything else, simply because you enjoy it, have passively absorbed a lot of knowledge about it, and will continue to do so naturally as a course of doing what you do.

As opposed to most other things, where you probably haven't read anything about it before and doing so would be going above and beyond your regular schedule. You basically have a huge head start in any area you already care about.

sounds reasonable

@PearsonArtPhoto do whatever your heart tells you :D

It's hard, I've spent a lot of work on it, but...

Eh, will decide in a few weeks when I've got the Where Is Roadster stuff a bit calmer.
