Numpy? #30

Open BertrandBordage opened 11 years ago

BertrandBordage commented 11 years ago

Can I use numpy to improve performances and terrain generation posibilities? This adds a dependency, but I'm sure we will have to do it one day or another.

embatbr commented 11 years ago

It's a valid use. But Numpy isn't just the base? Shouldn't you use Scipy?

boskee commented 11 years ago

I say go for it, can't see why not, especially since it's widely used.

BertrandBordage commented 11 years ago

My knowledge of Scipy is nearly null. What are you thinking about? I think we could use numpy at least to speedup position calculus. I'm currently trying to get rid of every "dx, dy, dz", "x + dx…" etc.

I see. Mine too. In NumPy also. But what I know (or knew) is that NumPy is just a base of structure and SciPy work very good above it.

In facto I know nothing about the two.
