collisions – the megastructure development blog http://blog.megastructure.org tracking construction of megaprojects Sun, 23 Dec 2018 15:54:33 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.0.2 Collisions and Cosmetics – v1.87 http://blog.megastructure.org/2009/10/collisions-and-cosmetics-v1-87/ Sun, 11 Oct 2009 01:03:02 +0000 http://blog.megastructure.org/?p=120 Version 1.87 released: as usual, to be found on the information page.

Major changes in this version include a newer, less degenerate collision engine. The player now collides with surfaces, instead being manually bound to a certain volume.

Also, steps have been taken towards making the corridors more visually interesting. This means adding chamfering to some corners, and variable heights to the corridors. (Suggestion in part by @zdanielz.)

]]> Version 1.86 Released, corridor-enabled http://blog.megastructure.org/2009/09/version-1-86-released-corridor-enabled/ Tue, 29 Sep 2009 20:52:52 +0000 http://blog.megastructure.org/?p=115 Collisions are coming together, even if they are simplistic. This means we can now explore an infinitely-generated space, full of corridors and rooms. The latest version has been uploaded, the very same one from the teaser vid.

Please note that there are disabled stubs for working with ffmpeg, but I decided it was far too bulky to add to the project. I only used it for a few export clips, for the teaser.

Also, as Wolfgang points out, the Mac version does not look the same as the Windows version (most of the walls are transparent). This is evidently because of some nonstandard usage of OpenGL that Windows is willing to forgive. Any thoughts or suggestions on how this might be solved would be quite welcome.

Regardless, the project is moving forward, and new and exciting features are coming. Stay tuned.
