From my tests, that Lua-based method in the OP is slightly faster than the Box2D one. Point for LuaJIT I guess, it's probably optimizing that function amazingly. I honestly thought the C++ one would be faster.
The code I'm using is this (to disable the testing, set DO_BENCHMARK in love.load() to false):
Code: Select all
io.stdout:setvbuf('no')
local testPoly
local renderPolys
local testShape
local inside = false
function createPickablePolygon(points)
local poly = { }
local lastX = points[#points-1]
local lastY = points[#points]
for index = 1, #points-1, 2 do
local px = points[index]
local py = points[index+1]
if py ~= lastY then
local index = #poly
poly[index+1] = px
poly[index+2] = py
poly[index+3] = (lastX - px) / (lastY - py)
end
lastX = px
lastY = py
end
return poly
end
function isPointInPolygon(x, y, poly)
local lastPX = poly[#poly-2]
local lastPY = poly[#poly-1]
local inside = false
for index = 1, #poly, 3 do
local px = poly[index]
local py = poly[index+1]
local deltaX_div_deltaY = poly[index+2]
if ((py > y) ~= (lastPY > y)) and (x < (y - py) * deltaX_div_deltaY + px) then
inside = not inside
end
lastPX = px
lastPY = py
end
return inside
end
function love.load()
local points = {}
local TOTAL_POINTS = 8
local angleStep = math.pi * 2.0 / TOTAL_POINTS
for x = 0, TOTAL_POINTS - 1 do
local index = x * 2 + 1
points[index] = math.cos(x * angleStep) * 100.0 + 200.0
points[index + 1] = math.sin(x * angleStep) * 100.0 + 200.0
end
testPoly = createPickablePolygon(points)
renderPolys = love.math.triangulate(unpack(points))
testShape = love.physics.newPolygonShape(unpack(points))

local DO_BENCHMARK = true

love.timer.sleep(2.0)

end
error(string.format('Delta seconds (smaller is better):\nLua: %.8f\nBox2D: %.8f',
luaDelta, b2Delta))
end
end
function love.mousemoved(x, y)
-- Lua-based method.
--inside = isPointInPolygon(x, y, testPoly)
-- Box2D-based method.
inside = testShape:testPoint(0, 0, 0, x, y)
end
function love.draw()
love.graphics.print('Hover the polygon with the mouse cursor. Press Esc to quit.', 10, 10)
