~140–160 nodes and ~870–1,000 beams per car (the Golf is 143 / 881). The solver runs in a worker off the main thread, at 8 substeps per step. A car costs ~0.3 ms per step, and the mesh just gets skinned to the nodes on the GPU. That’s enough for 12 cars at 60 on an iPhone 15 Pro Max. Funny thing: my old Pixel 6 Pro runs it even better
Pretty cool that you can mod existing game, I am doing something similar but for my new game

Pretty much! Give it any car model with separate wheels and the editor generates the crash structure from the mesh, then you can tweak nodes and beams and crash-test it right there
Yes! A bent wheel shifts its toe and camber, so the car pulls to one side and you have to steer against it. Lose a wheel and the corner drags.
Other engines would work fine. I wanted a game that IS a script: a ringing phone is 4 lines of text, a monster is a few more. That makes it fast for me and my Twitch community to build episodes together, and the engine automatically paces the fear. Why I did it 👇 0xkot.itch.io/the-cradle-epi…
Я сделал что-то похожее, только с локальной ллм. Я написал скрипт который дергает rss новостей, а ллм мне просто подводит итоги и записывает короткое голосовое в тг
I’ve been experimenting with Gitea, and it runs surprisingly well on a cheap VPS. Block storage snapshots and offsite replication make it a pretty solid low-cost setup.
I recently visited a computer museum where two old-school programmers were demonstrating how they used to program with punch cards. You could see how much they missed those days, even the smell and sounds of the machinery. Now they’re telling younger generations stories about it. Maybe one day you’ll be doing the same with iOS development :)
By your own logic, reviews aren't a measure of the game. They're a vote on anything people care about. That's fine for curators and tags, which say what they're filtering for. But it all gets folded into one review score, and the buyer who just wants to know "is it good" can't tell a broken game from a boycott. A single number that mixes quality with politics doesn't inform consumers. It misleads the ones who weren't in on the campaign.
