Added new types of chunks to gain even more speed.

Each of these critters store all their legs/wings chunks into a single ChunkArray making all their data sequential in memory.

The electronic warfare organism's maw is a powerful emitter in radio and microwave frequencies. It acts as a radar and communications platform, as well as jams those of the enemy. It can also emit short intense pulses to fry electronics.

Here's 512 of these little guys. Each has 16 segments, 2 legs per segment, 2 bones per leg.

A total of 8,192 body nodes and 32,768 articulated leg nodes updated in a single thread.

And it's GPU bound because of the 40,960 box instances it needs to render.

M365 Copilot fails to up productivity in UK government trial : AI tech shows promise writing emails or summarizing meetings. Don't bother with anything more complex

They have little articulated legs now, just need to animate them next.

That's 500 centipedes with 10 segments, 4 legs / segment, 3 nodes / leg.

it's a total of:
5,000 soft body nodes (bodies)
60,000 rigid body nodes (legs)
On a single thread.

Odo and Quark from the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "The Ascent"

Odo and Quark from the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "The Ascent"

Modern TV should have standalone episodes where two characters who hate* each other are forced to work together to survive.

*""Hate""

"You remember back there, when I told you I hated you, and you told me you hated me?"
"Vividly."
"I just wanted you to know… I meant every word of it."
"So did I."

PNC has similarities with ECS, which FLECS is, but it aims to address certain issues with full ECS solutions.

ECS is great for lists of identical objects but not so much when it comes to processing hierarchies (tree structures) of various objects. PNC aims to address that.

New bush outcroppings have been added to the game.
They can be mined by hand or axe to obtain vine and wood for the start of the game.

Relatively small adjustment but does anyone have any opinion on A, B, or C?

It's just the title and I can't figure out which one I like better

1. Alert, and please share widely. A lawyer at the ACLU has asked me to inform my transgender readers that they should NOT be applying for passports right now - the state department has not issued guidance to comply with the court order and they are urgently trying to get them to do so.

“As a feminist and cis ally I 💯 stand in support of our trans sisters. Trans women are women and I will continue to fight for their rights to be upheld as much as my own.”

This is just one of the many heartfelt messages from women who’ve signed the ‘Not In Our Name’ letter.

If you believe in fairness, dignity, and standing alongside others, we’d love for you to read our letter and consider adding your name.
