Can't tell you wo a profile, but I assume your content was as complex as a full byzantine shooter map. I've also got large enemy squads, so there's an M×N issue.

Target is switch/steam deck, and I have hard profiling numbers on fully decked scenes, so your suspicions are inaccurate.

In principle it's a fine idea, but their implementation has so many footguns (race conditions, thundering herds, perf cliffs, etc) it was easier to impl your own simpler alternative.

On ABZÛ we ripped out multiplayer and lots of other cruft from AActor and UPrimitiveComponent - dropping builtin overlap events, which are a kind of anti pattern anyway, not only saved RAM but cut a lot of ghost reads/writes.

They did in my janky initial impl, but in the current version waypoint interfacing "windows" are now quads.

It's a bit legacy, since it's just used to tesselate PhysX/Chaos trimesh collision, rather than doing true BSP collision in game :/

It's not a BSP, it's volumetric data (this is in the actual article). Just off the bat I get aerial navigation "for free" without having to hand-place regions, and a secondary collision-query for bullet-hell that's

The scaffolding is built from convex volumes, and I know which cuboid faces are "walls" and which are "windows" so I link the windows into a graph where the shared-faces are waypoints and do A*, using straight-line dista

A whistle-stop tour of some game-engine collision/pathfinding background, how modern engines work, how old engines work, and how I'm applying a mixed-approach in my game.

Yeah you're right, I jumped the gun there. On the other hand, color trends of science museum exhibits are a cherry-picked example. "Culture Critic"'s whole shtick is to put a photo of a modernist building next to an orna

Wait, his "graph" measures a greater gamut of colors in photos from the nineteenth century when they were all B/W? Who's still buying this retvrn hucksterism?

Instead of billionaire-directed patronage, just tax wealth and let the democratic process decide how to allocate it.

Despite the high frequency that alarmist "formatting you HDD" is cited in discussing UB, I've never seen it happen. Surely there exist real examples of catastrophic failures which could actually teach us something, beyond mak

All of the leading code samples look _fine_. This whole article is the kind of superficial bikeshedding feedback one gets from code-reviewers who are just phoning it in and don't care about the substance of the problem or solution.
