I was too lazy to optimize the old code, but here's my Trippy Stars

Something is a little off but here's a sphere illuminated using only it's own vertex data.

I've written a alternative to tables to store objects and looping over them.
It's a lot faster (benchmarks down below), but it's still missing a way to collect garbage.

This is pretty sweet, how are you pulling it off? Point me into a github repo so I can expand my brain's meat.

Hey there, it uses Meteor as the backend/frontend and love.js for running LÖVE code in the browser.

Interesting, it's basically something similar to C++'s vector class? I could very well have use for something like this.

I don't know exactly how a Vector in C++ works, but by the looks of it, yes.
The general idea is that you just have a list that you want objects to be in, and apply some sort of logic to them; you don't care about working with individual objects beyond that (And removing them).

This is usually the way (Or at least my way) that OOP Classes work;
You create a bullet, you put it in a table, and update their position every frame.


I should also note that this implementation gives up "strict-ness" for speed. When you remove a object it really just sets a flag that it shouldn't be iterated over anymore, thus the reference only gets removed when its overwritten.
That is one of the problems that I need to address still, I'll try to bring out a updated version soon.

Love Fiddle is really cool! I've tried out my minigame in LF and it worked:
