It would've been a great twist if after reaching the first flag, the ball shrunk down and you got to explore the smaller crannies of the fractal. That would showcase what only your fractal physics engine can do.

instead of computing every angle you just compute for the center distance of the environment to your object; only works if your object is a circle though. tldr; this saves a lot of computation

Well, back in 1987, my fist attempt at building a 3D rendering engine on a SUN 3/80 workstation was just able to trace 13 monochromatic triangles per second... Ray tracing (a very old idea) was far too slow for this computer and ray marching was not yet invented... Now we do 100fps in 4K... We're living interesting times.

[@lex5096]

I just did a run of 7:20 on Jump the crater

[@typicalhog]

Is it possible that some fractals have extremely small parts that are not connected to the rest which causes problems? Small invisible dots that are floating in the air etc.

[@CodeParade]

Yes, I now believe this to be the case. Suppose as the fractal evolves smoothly, a floating object disappears. The distance to that island will not suddenly jump to zero since the transition is smooth and continuous. So it still thinks that the invisible object has some non-zero distance. This continues until the invisible object is pushed far enough into obscurity that the main fractal surface is now closer and the collisions work correctly again. Kind of seems like a 3D slice of a 4D object.

[@tempname8263]

@@CodeParade Do you know solution for this?

[@QuinnArgo]

@@tempname8263 there are algorithms to remove noise from scanned pictures. They basically remove a "layer" from every colored thing, and then add a layer to everything again. This removes every point thinner than a layer, as there will be nothing left to add back on. They sometimes make the picture a bit more... Not that good looking though.

A ton of my favorite artists are fractalists like Julius Horsthuis, and I dream of the day that fractal ray marching is efficiently and commonly applicable in interactive media like games.

[@x3n0v1s]

I've been wanting a fractal fly through "game" for VR forever.... I'd like to modify this for Oculus.
