Translating a js script in gen
Apr 08 2021 | 4:59 pm
Hi, I'm trying to port in gen the behavior of the js script included in this patch.
What I'm trying to achieve is to calculate the distance of all the particles in a system and to draw a segment between those particles that have a distance minor of a threshold
The problem with js is related to an high framerate drop, so I'm searching some alternatives in terms of efficiency.
I'm not a gen expert at all, so I'm not even sure if this is the best approach or even a feasible one.
Thanks in advance

Instead optimizing your algorithms via partitioning structures (e.g. quadtree) is usually the way to go -
