Last night I dreamed that I was on death row, slowly taken out toward the gallows. I hadn't really done anything wrong. Suddenly my execution was just sort of about to happen. Everyone thought I must have some clever plan to escape - so most of my dream was taken…
I've finally gotten around to compiling Chipmunk to JS using Emscripten to see what happens. It works great. As a baseline, here's the first benchmark running in C: Time(a) = 1451.45 ms (benchmark - SimpleTerrainCircles_1000) The same benchmarks running with chipmunkjs in node 0.10.12 (v8: 3.…
