First Performance Update!


Dear shipmates,

Faithful to our plan, we are very happy to announce that work to improve the performance of the rigidity simulation has not only started, but is also showing the first, *very encouraging* results.

We've started writing a multi-part blog post in which we describe not only the hurdles in implementing a mass-spring network simulation, but also our amazing progress in improving Floating Sandbox's spring relaxation algorithm.

We've just published part I of the series, and plan to write the next parts during the following weeks. By following this series you'll get updates on how our work is progressing and what degree of performance enhancement you may expect in the next release!

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)
