Apparently my collision detection algorithm doesn't quite work, so I'm rewriting it.

The general concept is the same as before: given two convex shapes, I try to select a direction (unit vector) which produces the minimum amount of "overlap", the farthest distance along that direction in one object minus the nearest distance along the other object in the same direction.

I thought the problem was that I was hitting a local minimum (a direction which was better than any of the directions immediately around it, but wasn't the best direction of all), but upon closer examination that's not it. There are no local minima, just narrow "valleys" which my algorithm doesn't know how to get out of.

Bleh

My collection of 80s to early 90s anime seems to be growing. First I get the complete (remastered) series of Guyver for xmas, now I've got the full series of Dominion Tank Police. What will I get next, Legend of the Four Kings?!

i think my computer might be getting sightly out of date, it has of issues with running some of the newer mods

[Androgeos Exeunt]

No, you just need to wait for 3.6.14.

by "slightly out of date", i mean it's as technologically advanced as a stone tablet and should be burned. immediately.

i am currently posting this from my raspberry pi. i didnt have a micro usb type b connector. but i figured out which pins on the gpio header were the 5v and ground lines. so it was only a matter of building a small lm7805 power supply. which is running off of a loithium battery. my screen is a 3.5 inch monitor with a composite input the case is built out of legos. i can barely read the screen so this will no doubt be loaded with typoes. i cant even see the squiggly underlines anyway.

[headdie]

nice work Nuke

[Androgeos Exeunt]

Well done, and your typing accuracy is still higher than a drunkard with a 22-inch monitor.

I've since mastered the art of not posting when tanked.

Also, good Android phone benchmark software for free. I'm tempted to give their studio trial a go as well....

So. Walk into my Networking class. Prof is also the program counselor. Orchestral versions of the main Zelda theme blaring through the classroom speakers. And I remember the reason why I love at least some of my Uni's professors.
