jit.phys "looped" snake pit
Jun 06 2013 | 7:42 pm
hi list,
i would like to make a "looped" snake pit, starting from Ben Bracken nice example (https://cycling74.com/tutorials/00-physics-patch-a-day/), but I faild to do it with jit.phys.multiple.
I managed to get something working with separate bodies, but this does not feels handy, and the FPS get quite low...
I can imagine this may be better optimized when using jit.phys.multiple, but the snake get stucked when I make the 2 ends meet (see patch below).
I guess I must set some values in the internal constraint matrix, but cannot really find how... Is there a documentation on that somewhere ?
