[Physics Engine Update | Fabric Mod]
Linear and angular velocity calculations are done.
It's unbelievable how much easier everything is with Java as compared to Datapacks. No fixed point scaling, no hardcoding every cross product for optimization, multiple ops per line... ❤️

[Physics Engine Status Update]
I just started developing a server-side mod that I can use as a reference (for figuring out the scaling and other things more easily).
Here's the entity I set up in the past 2 days.

Happy 1 year anniversary to me starting this project 🎉
Because I was disappointed with the jitteriness (& got burnt out), I didn't work on it for the past 3 months. But now I have a potential solution for all this.

Minecraft snapshot 25w41a won't let us grab the result of a stopwatch query, so I wrote a small datapack that uses binary search to get it.
(It'll definitely be a regular feature in the next snapshot)

[Disclaimer: A lot of bugs were temporarily resolved with ugly code that only works for testing]
Found a TON of bugs and temporarily fixed them, but it's still very jittery and a bit buggy. Not sure what's causing that.

Velocity resolution for world_axis_x is finished!
(It currently doesn't update other contacts' values based on the resolved contact. It also doesn't resolve penetrations yet.)

Started working on the resolver.
Linear velocity change is calculated correctly for this specific axis (VERY early test).
Angular part and penetration resolution are still missing, and ofc making it work for all other axes. This is just a test to see if the formulas are correct.

Almost all preparations for the resolver are done (& I made some cool optimizations), but I have to work out a last problem with a sign-error for edge-edge contacts.
I think I figured out the correct way now, so all the preparation should be done today.

(Currently working on updating Contact Generation so I have all the data I need for the resolver)
Fixed a bug in the ray intersection logic if your head is inside the object's AABB.
(Was using EntityInteractionRange in a distance check, which doesn't work if you're inside it)

(Was using EntityInteractionRange in a distance check, which doesn't work if you're inside it)
Optimized the ray intersection logic so it can stop after finding a single valid intersection per object. This change makes this part of the code ~3-4% faster, but it's nigh unmeasurable due to it already being very fast.
Also, exam season is over and I've prepared some resolution pseudocode 👀

Converted a song into a datapack using playsound/stopsound, suprisingly the lyrics are quite understandable.

It's just incredible.
I rank Undertale's soundtrack among the best (w/ the best Mario & Zelda soundtracks), yet Deltarune (Ch1-4) introduces a whole new tier.
How can a person be capable of making gameplay, stories, characters, soundtracks & mysteries at such a high level??

DELTARUNE CHAPTER 4?? WHAT THE HECK
Together with Chapter 3, this must have been the best gaming experience I've had in my life. I was more invested than when I was playing Elden Ring or BotW for the first time. This game... 🧵

I'm currently playing Elden Ring with invasions on (Taunter's Tongue), and it's a great experience. Only drawback is that I have to re-activate it (2 items) every time I die or warp. Other than that, simply a lot of fun!

I've spent the last 8 hours without breaks on reworking TimeLib from scratch. I'm tired, but I'm also very happy. It's a lot better than before, in my opinion.

In an upcoming update for my TimeLib library, time will stay synced even at incredibly low or high tickrates.
You won't be able to tell from the timer that the game isn't running at 20 TPS!

Full Hitbox Overhaul ✨
A small hitbox now spawns where you're looking.
- Depends on your entity interaction distance (Max 5 blocks)
- Extremely efficient
- Gets rid of stray interaction entities caused by the player leaving or the chunks unloading
