Hey #screenshotsaturday! A bit of a different one today, as people have asked me how SOLAS 128 simulates all the pulses and interactions across the entire game without slowing to a crawl.
So I'm going to do a deep dive into how this works! Ready?
SOLAS 128 plays on a 253x253 grid (64,009 spaces), and has approximately 18,500 different elements a pulse can interact with. By the end of the game we need to calculate 1,600+ pulses' interactions... in less that a single frame.
