anim8 VS bump.lua

I made a rope simulation using the usual points connected by sticks approach. If you're not familiar, I mean something like this. I also added collision using bump (check if the nodes can move before allowing the stick to rotate.)

Look at how bump.lua does AABB collisions. I think part of what's important about how it works is that an entity moves and then handles collisions before going onto the next entity. So you're less likely to have vibrating behavior because objects only move from your input instead of an inherent velocity. Or maybe because it forces you to think harder about momentum since you need to maintain it yourself.

When it comes to collision I'd say give Humper a look, if you don't need physics. It seems to be a C# port of Bump, the latter which I have used before for AABB collision and resolution in Lua.

I'm using bump.lua for collision detection and Concord for ECS.

Check out bump.lua as an example. Only 700 lines but it is enough to make a platformer and has good slide collision resolution (see diagrams in readme).

I wanted to shoutout some libraries that have helped me a lot: https://github.com/kikito/bump.lua

Collisions, The player now collides with the world thanks to bump.lua. And you can dig into the cave walls, Which occasionally reveals either diamonds, rubys or tanzenite.

Try a compact collision library like https://github.com/kikito/bump.lua

I'm playing around with making a football (soccer) game a bit like Sensible Soccer. Although I would like the rendering to be simple 2D, I'm trying to make the game work with some rudimentary 3D physics to accurately allow lofted crosses, clearances, ball bouncing etc. My attempted solution is to use bump.lua, which I've used a bunch and really enjoy using, and trying to make use of it in a 3D context. Assuming a basic XYZ cartesian co-ordinate system, where Y is vertical elevation, I'm attempting 3D physics by maintaining three separate worlds/planes with bump:
