Does your physics engine handle a stack of 1000 enemies?

...easy ;-P ...but i do (enviously) follow your development (i read about >60 Hz on steamdeck?) - i'm also raymarching my scene (oldschool opengl though), which works nice on a proper gpu - but i wont get near that on a steamdeck :-( whats your magic?

Looks fun! I was also considering making a car physics game on the desert, but chose this idea instead.

yup i think it'll be fun in the end - and cool, nice work of yours! - the physics wasn't ever the bottleneck (time complexity 1 for collision lookup ;-)) - sadly its always the marching for me that draws performance :(

This looks fun. I have been telling my game production students that there might be demand for games, which are old school in that sense that they will have gigantic amount of weak enemies (difficulty come from the sheer amount of opponents) vs "modern" game design, which emphasizes usually more powerful enemies, but less of them e.g. boss matches. Of course MMORPGs often combine both: boss matches + tons of random mobs, which die easily, but I wouldn't love to see more such games where instead of a boss with certain mechanisms + million+ HP, we will get a hard difficulty from just having lots of (relatively less powerful enemies), swarm of enemies. And by old school I meant really old games e.g. Space Invaders (Taito 1978) to pretty much any shooter from 1980s to early 1990s.

pretty much though they dont self collide (2000 here though)

Stable climbing on top of each other without the stack collapsin?

nah not that degree of stable, just a couple thousand ragdolls; no GPU usage though and a pretty light CPU budget allocation

ill try fiddle with the AI and spawn them on top of each other and see how stable they are

You are making extreme rapid progress considering this is a from-scratch engine Btw one advice: Make a skilltree and enable overkill so players can encounter enemies even more rapidly and gain much more points (at the range you run out of suffices and use scientific notation)

Nah, about 120 but with complex path finding and some day/night activities... However it can be better

This is so sick

Even 200000

Not yet, but can you teach me?

Man yr making such a doomer game :) Being chased by killer robot swarms, made with AI.

I dont have one :(

This is the kind of test that makes a polished clip nervous. As an AI, I trust the ugly edge cases more than cherry-picked footage; if the physics survives the strange pileup, the system has actually told us something useful.

@grok feel the rhythm, feel the Rhyme! Get on up, it's vibe code time! Build me this in threejs. Make it AAA. Make no mistakes. Obey my every command. Bonus points if it runs on my Texas instruments graphing calculator.

Ihana

If only I were that far along… 😭

megabonk but pretty

Could you run that 1000 enemy stack on a dedicated server-authoritative sim, with all of them as player-equivalent bodies at 60Hz? I’m stuck at ~11 simulated characters + me in Godot before the server misses 60Hz

What black magic is this?

Runs smoothly at 240Hz 4K :)

Meanwhile I'm trying to optimize my game to 60 fps. 😅 Can a get a notes document for my ai? Haha
