"Final" state of the N-Body-Problem demo of my FOSS Entity-Component System, https://fennecs.tech 🦊💫

#GameDev #3BodyProblem #ScreenshotSunday #GodotEngine #Csharp

glowy simulations of 2, 3, 4, and 5 star systems, stylized in a demo for a game Engine. The title reads "N-BODY PROBLEM", and there's a logo of a fox stylized as a lightning bolt in the center. An FPS counter reads values at around 500 fps for 100 parallel simulations. A larger block of text reads: This demo showcases the power of fennecs Entity-Entity relations in solving a common ECS challenge: managing N:N relationships efficiently. The renowned 3-Body-Problem demonstrates that even slight variations in initial conditions can lead to dramatically different and chaotic outcomes in systems with three or more interacting bodies. With fennecs, multiple Entities can interact with each other seamlessly, enabling complex behaviors such as flocking, leader-following, and grouping by spheres of influence. The framework achieves this while maintaining good cache coherence, memory locality, and optimal iteration order. Each colored cluster represents a small, self-contained clique where 2, 3, 4, or 5 stars (Entities) have relationships with all other Entities within the same group, forming a distinct Archetype. All simulations coexist harmoniously and interactions are driven by the same runner passed to a single Query, ensuring each Entity is processed exactly once for each other Entity it interacts with. The two other Queries then simply integrate the calculated forces into movement and position.

Progress on the UI for the demo.

Also, screaming performance, as always. :) (and those line renderers are really dumb GDscript objects)

If it walks like a Duck and quacks like a Duck, then it probably is a Fox<Duck>!

@VOANews

Is such a dance performance near a war zone with 30+k dead appropriate?

What's your opinion?

▶️ While sounds of the Israel-Hamas war echo nearby, an Israeli dance group, joined by American artist and influencer Montana Tucker, performed Friday in southern Israel, in tribute to Oct. 7 Hamas attack victims.

(smol) JOB OFFER:

Fellow federated Technical Writers and Documentation Connoisseurs:

Where would I go to get someone to review my documentation for:

• structure (didactic and otherwise)
• accessibility
• modernity
• oversights

(also, if you have a friend or yourself to put forward for a consultation - I can likely spare adequate coin for your time, just send me your rate)

Topic is C# documentation for a game and simulation development library.

Hey, any web dev people here?

How would one implement an image / video / zip downloader that first hits S3, and if unsuccessful, then hits IPFS as a fallback.

Like, that type of thing needs to already exist in some form, right?

I accidentally implemented blurred shadows and outlines for Text Strips in #blender sequencer. In for Blender 4.2! https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/121478

That moment when you get back into your project (as you're dogfooding it), and wonder how to extend it, and then see that you build an indexer that does EXACTLY what you needed.

public Entity this[int index] => new(_world, _identities[index]);

And it, even though it causes API bloat, makes a confusing API much more convenient downstream.

Worth it.

I was always on the fence about basically duplicating the API surface for all Queries, but it makes much sense.

Satisfying to use, too.

Lots of #FOSS projects are MIT licensed. Why?

Which additional licenses would you suggest to release a project under?

Here are my favourites, what are yours?
