Title: Friendly Blobs!
Post by: Kirl on February 12, 2012

I just wanted to show off the blob to blob collisions which I'm really happy with!   :updance:
I lost my 1st collision code due to a crash my housemate caused while I wasn't around (I forgot to save).  :telloff:
Now I'm happy it happened because I squashed (really obliterated) a very annoying bug in the rewrite. The blobs would sometimes get stuck in eachother because I moved points away from the center of colliding blobs. Fixed it by moving them towards the center of the blob they belong to instead.

Thank you guys! :)

Great to hear it still runs on android!
I'm not sure why the +- don't work for you benny. You should hold them down for a while and it only scales the active blob.

I want to give them some sort of voices, but finding or making some apropriate sounds is quite difficult...

@Kirl:
Tested it again. The "normal" +/- keys work. The +/- keys from the numpad do not work.

I improved the collsions quite a bit and made it much more stable in the process (without any extra cost). This means there is much more flexibility in playing with the various physics values including the blob stiffness!
:updance:

To convey how I feel about this in a concise manner, I present you my first ever celebratory haiku:
Sometimes I rock
Tonight I rocked
I am really pleased with myself!
;D

And thanx rbz! :)

Very nicely done!  Big fan of the loco roco games.  The faces are great.

Thanks jim! I can only hope to turn this into something nearly as cool as locoroco! :)

I copied the face from a very old lip synch project. I also realised this soft body code can be used to simulate cloth, like your destruction entry which impressed me a lot!
