Before getting carried away with the platformer rambling, again, here’s something about PolyAnim. Yesterday I added automatic polygon triangulation for concave polygons into PolyAnims LWJGL-renderer. This is mainly for convenience, since the triangulation is quite expensive – it remains to be seen if this is fast enough for more general use. At least with simpler [...]

Well, serves me right for not starting it earlier in the Summer like I intended to.. School starts in September again, yawn. The Qt Jambi update I’m waiting for might also happen [...]
