What is DAABBCC?
A Dynamic AABB Tree is a binary search algorithm for fast overlap testing. Dynamic AABB trees are good for general purpose use, and can handle moving objects very well. The data structure provides an efficient way of detecting potential overlap between objects. DAABBCC does not contain narrow-phase collision detection.
You can use it whenever precise collision manifold(narrow-phase) is not required.
You can use the DAABBCC in your own project by adding this project as a Defold library dependency.
Open your game.project file and in the dependencies field under project add:
https://github.com/selimanac/DAABBCC/archive/refs/tags/v2.1.2.zip
2.1.3
- Small fix to prevent collision with Defold's build-in box2D lib.
2.1.2
- Internal Update Frequency added. Default value is set from game.project file (display.frequency).
It is now possible to set a new internal(independent from Defold game loop) update frequency by usingaabb.update_frequency()
. - Fixed #9
2.1.1
- Table count added to query results.
- Documentation update
2.1
- It is now possible to sort results by distance. Use
raycast_sort
,query_id_sort
,query_sort
according to your needs #5. - Automated position updates for Defold Gameobjects #6.
- External Array and HashTable libs are removed.
- Group limit removed (previously the number of groups was limited to 20)
- Remove Gameobject when AABB or Group removed
- Clear function added for removing and resetting everything.
- Stop/Resume for automated Gameobject position updates.
- All query results return nil when they are empty. No need to check
#count
anymore.
