Hmm, thinking about how best to make Goblins interact with each other

Can probably reuse the code for finding Chairs.

Will need to add a variable to store the Goblin, I could reuse the one for storing the current Chair, but that might cause issues since they have different variables.

I should add Chatting to the State Machine, along with a new Sub-State for different parts of the chatting actions.

Maybe add the Emotes to the system that lets them jump and spin (as used in the Support Statue Parade)

If a Goblin is Wandering or Idle, find another Goblin who is free, assign each other as interacting, approach them, face each other, then do a random Chatting action.

As I've been going through my building redraws I've split the Crafting Building menu into Converters and Crafters. Kinda need better names for them.

I'm also realising I need to redo the UI for them, they don't need the Inventory part now I can reuse it.

@balmut91

OH! Different way of doing it.

11 lines of code, no randomness needed to stop them bouncing forever up and down!

This still means individual objects for the balls and bouncers, but no physics engine definitely means this is possible for minigames!

Ok, this version works without physics. I had to scrounge up some old bullet code from a platformer project I have.

It's nowhere near as accurate, and entirely random bounce angle when colliding with something. But it works and use like 15 lines of code?

IT'S FINALLY HERE!

@balmut72

Ok, going by my test project it's totally possible to draw physics objects to the UI (top left corner). That doesn't solve the issue of having possibly 100's of extra object active at once though.

Meh, this is just a thought experiment.
