  • Show HN: Making a Falling Sand Simulator
    3 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 8 May 2022
    If you want more performance, falling sand simulators can further be made parallel by implementing them using Margolus Neighbourhoods, as in Falling Turnip: https://github.com/tranma/falling-turnip

    The idea is that a single iteration divides the world into 2x2 squares and then applies effects sequentially within each square, but not between the squares. This means each square can be processed independently. In the next iteration, the division into squares shifts right and down by one cell each direction. This does mean you need more steps than in a sequential implementation, but I found it to be quite a principled approach to parallelizing cellular automata when I first read about it. One interesting side effect of this design is that falling particles end up being separated by blank space, as shown here: https://futhark-lang.org/static/falling-sand-2016.12.04.webm I wonder if that is fixable.

    rattletrap works quite well and is still actively maintained, the lack of stats is because we're a relatively small e-sport and stats are hard, meaning there just isn't that many people working on it - but not because of the tooling

    This is the one (rattletrap) that can convert it back to replay as well (harder to read): https://github.com/tfausak/rattletrap/releases/tag/11.2.4
  • how did i miss it in the replay?
    1 project | /r/RocketLeague | 20 Feb 2021
    Ah I see that's true. There is this (GitHub)[https://github.com/tfausak/rattletrap] that lets you edit stuff in replays. I haven't really fiddled too much with it, I really don't have a reason to edit replays. My speculation on the programming is that it uses AI techniques to assume what action you are going to do next based on your prior movements and tries to reconcile it in the event of latency mitigation or an error on their end.

    But you need to first convert the replay to json, and then you can start to replace stuff. Then convert it back and it works. There are softwares that does the converting. When I was experimenting with those I tried 3 different replay parsers and I liked this the most: https://github.com/tfausak/rattletrap
