Premature optimisation is the devil, but getting 5k not particles going in GDScript on a $200 tablet is satisfying.
I recon I could get more by combining flow and turbulence maps into one and cutting sampling in half (flow RG, turb BA) #GodotEngine

Maybe not on the compute shader lol

More flow fields in #GodotEngine
Satisfying to tinker with and running on my phone now.
Question is do I try compute shader/immediate geometry to REALLY crank it up.

So I got a 'splinter' at the start of the week that hurt like a motherbitch. Was deep enough I couldn't fork it out, so chucked splintex and a plaster on it. Next day she be a swelling, so I want to GP who referred for an ultrasound and yeaah that chunka wood went 90% of the way through my finger :S

I often worry about the AI-pocalypse taking all our jerbs.
Then I see stuff like this and remember how far away from that we really are. If this is what your boss wants to replace you with, maybe you've just got a shit boss?

Also the main aim is still to get enough users to actually use and share their own levels in the level editor, but before I get to that I actually need to create like ~20 more levels so it's actually 'complete'

Been over a year since I've touched SandStack (my #GodotEngine puzzle game). And decided to finally try to create a level generator.
Got a rudimentary tool working, but it won't be trivial to turn A into B. For now though I may just use it to help me design them, but still build them by hand ^^.

Ghost's often the aloof standoffish loner type (kinda takes after me), but when she does want attention OMG. You savour it 😂. Unlike MiGoreng who's an attention whore, no time for him lol

Finally, and this is the spicy bit, I need to determine the intra-client pings to determine the best cluster of clients. As the intent is to be P2P, it is unlikely that 'whoever is closest to the first person' is likely to win.

Then if were still below full party size, we check neighbouring squares (imagine these squares are warped to account for earth curvature so actual distances are equivalent. Then go bigger again if required.

SO musing about this P2P lobby server, I figure I geocode the IP address to an approx lat/lng, then spatial hash. So I just check "are there others in the same initial square" and try to connect to these first...

So what, that's just a ping.
WRONG! That's a peer to peer WebRTC ping in #GodotEngine that is not frame time dependent between two clients that was orchestrated by a central ENET server that is now disconnected.

There will always be cases of "Node X" doesn't do "situational thing I need Y".
In this case, if your signals are infinitely looping, just disconnect them before doing what you need and then reconnect them 🤷♂️

So slightly convoluted, but this is a Godot ENET lobby (right) accepting Clients (left) then orchestrating them to form a P2P WebRTC Mesh.
While this seems to work, I can't understand why the clients that are pinging each other have a 17ms delay. That should be 0 🤷♂️, What did I miss...
