Box of horrors
Today I adapted the nice setuptools-based plugin module from Spineless to more easily support different physics toolkits in my code, and played around a bit trying to write a Box2D plugin. Frankly, I don’t like the Box2D API design at all, and I like the pyBox2D API even less, as it’s a direct port of the C++ API and doesn’t even try to be Pythonic. Eww. Seems I’ll have to try fake sweeping collision detection and other tweaks to pymunk next to fix the collision problems I wrote about.
In other news, starting tomorrow I’ll try to finish two university courses that are really long overdue and that I want out of the way before September. I have one short paper to write and one coding project to do, so game development progress will probably be a bit slower again for a while. But every finished course takes me closer to graduation (which I’m planning to do next year), so yay for that!
