Connecting Carts #21

Closed pollend closed 6 years ago

pollend commented 6 years ago

The old implementation of Rails let the user connect one cart to another. This was dropped with the rework of rails. The new impulse solver will need to be extended to support connecting two carts together.

The current implementation of the impulse solver is fairly simplistic and for the mod this works really well. This will require tweaking the impulse solver to allow carts to be connected to each other. Collisions between carts should be ignored to prevent unintended jumping.

There are some basic elements provided but beyond that this requires extending the impulse system. There are some nice resources on the subject but translating those details is not easy.

For anyone interested, this feature is tracked by the feature-connecting-carts branch until it is ready to be merged into develop.

eviltak commented 6 years ago

Now that the branch has been merged into develop, I think this issue can be closed.
