Devlog

Wherein the protagonist laments his great suffering at the hands of rotation matrices and forward declarations.

Wherein the protagonist learns about a cutting edge neuroevolution technique and instead implements a five-node neural network by hand.

Wherein the world is made into a torus because it’s easier accomplished than building a neural network.

Wherein the protagonist dreams grandiose and waxes philosophical about the possibilities of neuroevolution but then just does some code cleanup.

Wherein the the simulation layer begins to speak Eigen while the render layer speaks SFML.

Wherein the protagonist evaluates libraries for linear algebra and unit testing.

C++ and SFML remind me of OpenFrameworks, Processing, and surprisingly, Flash and Flex.

Starting a project with C++ takes me down memory lane.

Successfully getting the tentacle to perform an inch worm maneouvre, at least until the last segment is detached from the surface.

Still trying to find an analytical solution to managing tentacle slack.
