  • unity-delaunay

    A Delaunay/Voronoi library for Unity, and a simple destruction effect

  • Fortunately for me, the internet came in clutch with the Oskar Sigvardsson Delaunay Unity Library with the vast majority of the work done for me!

  • delaunator

    An incredibly fast JavaScript library for Delaunay triangulation of 2D points

  • Well, the easiest option would probably be to use a different Delaunay/Voronoi library. Delaunator (C# bindings here) should be a pretty good option: it's fast, and there's a good explanation of how to use the data structures it generates. There is some weirdness with how points at the edge of the domain work that you may have to work around, but that will probably be easier than trying to modify another algorithm or write your own. I know I've struggled to implement the algorithms for calculating Voronoi diagrams/Delaunay triangulations, even though I feel like I have a decent high-level understanding of how Fortune's algorithm is supposed to work.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
