• Swept AABB Collision Detection Illuminated

  by Cory on September 15, 2018

  I think I finally fucking figured it out. I've been using these two website guides for the "swept AABB" collision detection algorithm and I couldn't figure out why it wasn'... (Read More)

• Working Out Collision Detection

  by Cory on September 15, 2018

  I've implemented the "regular" AABB collision detection, which is basically just seeing if two squares overlap. According to the internet, this algorithm isn't good when th... (Read More)

• Need Some Physics Up In Here

  by Cory on August 28, 2018

  I added Velocity and Acceleration components to the MegamanScene. I also put in a PhysicsSystem to do collision detection, but everything's all wrong. This is way harder th... (Read More)

• Some Visual Shit

  by Cory on August 10, 2018

  I was working on prefabs not making any progress and hating it when I just decided to work on adding animations because it's about time.

  Check it out.

  I added some quic... (Read More)

• ECS Concepts – Part 8: ECS Integration

  by Cory on July 15, 2018

  I was going to call this post “Systems” but then I realized I already made a post called “Systems”… Anyway, let me layout how my engine is organized because I don’t think I... (Read More)

  by Cory on March 8, 2018

  If you must blink, do it now.

  Pay careful attention to everything you see and hear, no matter how unusual it may seem. And please be warned: If you fidget, if you look awa... (Read More)

• ECS Concepts – Part 5: Entity Filtering

  by Cory on November 10, 2017

  Ok so this might seem like a weird topic to start talking about systems in depth, but filtering entities is one of the first things you’re gonna want to do in a system and ... (Read More)

• ECS Concepts – Part 4: Systems Overview

  by Cory on October 17, 2017

  Damn, it’s been a little while. I was trying to hold off on writing this post until I fleshed out a few systems in my code before starting the systems section in case there... (Read More)

• ECS Concepts - Part 3: Components

  by Cory on September 19, 2017

  Uh, I’m just realizing that there isn’t much to say about Component and it’s implementation so this post will be on the short side. Because of the implementation of the Ent... (Read More)
