Changing multiple lines at once. Can’t believe I forgot about %s/<pattern>/<replacement>/g and I can’t believe how prettay VSCode does it. It shows me how every line changes in real-time. Swoon.
I guess I should provide some context. I was changing these lines:
alpha: int
reference_alpha: int
num_root_segments: int
root_segment_pos_const_x: float
…to…
new ParamDef("alpha", "int", (0, 0))
new ParamDef("reference_alpha", "int", (0, 0))
new ParamDef("num_root_segments", "int", (0, 0))
new ParamDef("root_segment_pos_const_x", "float", (0, 0))
Well, here’s the before, generating outputs with parameters a, b, c, d randomized within (-0.03, 0.03).
And here’s the after, generating outputs with different ranges depending on the parameter.
They both look pretty random to me, but the sliders in the second one are moving around a lot more. That’s because the ranges used for generating random values are the same as the slider ranges.
So I guess next is collision detection.
As I calculate each line segment reckon I will check for a collision with every other line segment generated so far? There are a huge amount of line segments but it only needs to be calculated once for every parameter change so shouldn’t be too bad. I’ve a couple ideas if it’s too slow but we’ll see if it comes to that.
