187.5 and 24,300 - or, Second Performance Update!


Dear shipmates,

Stick in your mind these two measurements: 187.5 and 24,300. They are the measurements of our "large benchmark bar" model with the current implementation and parameters of the spring relaxation algorithm in Floating Sandbox 1.17.5: bending is 187.5, and CPU time per-frame is 24,300μs. These are neatly explained in the second post of our series, which you may find at https://gabrielegiuseppini.wordpress.com/2023/04/23/adventures-with-mass-spring-networks-part-ii/.

These numbers are the starting point of our quest to improve performance and rigidity of the simulator. As we experiment with different algorithms and optimizations, any bending measurement lower than 187.5 or any CPU time lower than 24,300μs will signify an improvement for the upcoming Floating Sandbox 1.18.0 update.

You may track our progress with these improvements by following our blog series. Keep on eye on these numbers!

Been working lately on lots of 'behind-the-scenes' boring stuff that no one really cares about, so here’s a guy playing the sax for some reason.

Quantum precognition is one of the most powerful cards. End game cards & equipment. Demo/alpha build boss is no match for this deck.

So here's the first of the zodiac signs i will make for the next weeks.

One of the most critical update for Sunblaze demo. Now you are able to pet a cat! Finally!

Spaaaace~

These are background sprites I've created for a game I'm working on at school ^w^ Click on the post to see how the sprites connect. You won't regret it! (personally, I think it's pretty heheh)
