Dynamic Animation with Springs — Handmade Hero — Episode Guide

0:42Recap and set the stage for the day

1:52handmade.cpp and handmade_config.h: Introduce and make Global_Timestep_Percentage editable with the debug system

4:00Run the game reduce that Global_Timestep_Percentage

7:01handmade_world_mode.cpp: Look at the current hopping code and consider doing physics simulation on the springiness

10:05Blackboard: Tracking the velocity and target position of the cape

13:12handmade_world_mode.cpp: Simulate tBob using the standard equations of motion¹

16:12handmade_world_mode.cpp: Set the acceleration to 0 and see that there's no movement on that joint

16:36handmade_world_mode.cpp: Set a loop and tweak the hopping variables

22:00handmade_world_mode.cpp: Restore the position to 0

24:15handmade_world_mode.cpp: Simulate the landing phase

30:59handmade_world_mode.cpp: Tune the hop

32:41Control the hero directly and see that the hop is oscillating

33:04Blackboard: Springs

34:57Blackboard: Undamped spring

37:28handmade_world_mode.cpp: Add that undamped spring equation

38:31Blackboard: How this spring equation works

40:05Blackboard: Under-, over- and critically-damped springs

42:32handmade_config.h and handmade_world_mode.cpp: Run at 100% global speed and slow down the head and jump

44:01handmade_world_mode.cpp: Tune the downward motion on the anticipation phase

46:44handmade_world_mode.cpp: Consider making the head snap back to the body when stationary

49:15Blackboard: Applying the spring technique in different directions

57:33handmade_world_mode.cpp: Implement this spring equation for the head

1:04:41Rerun the game and get that restorative force, but see that the facing direction is being affected by something

1:07:12Blackboard: Recentering the head along the body's axis of movement

1:07:59handmade_world_mode.cpp: Recenter the head

1:16:13handmade_world_mode.cpp: Introduce a non-normalised ddP2 in order to compute the spring

1:17:21Run the game and see that the problem is fixed

1:18:30Miblo The other day ingenero likened the new movement to Crypt of the Necrodancer. I like that game and see where they're coming from, but Handmade Hero already looks like it feels so much sweeter to play
