Attempt to roll our own bullet physics character controller in F#. #744

Closed bryanedds closed 3 months ago

bryanedds commented 3 months ago

This existing one is implemented in C# (BulletSharp.KinematicCharacterController) and seems to have some limitations and can't be modified by end-users. Let's see if we can write one in F# based on its code.

Also, I've noticed that the current out-of-box kinematc character controller is extremely slow. Just 50 of them kills the frame rate, so maybe the one we roll could be more performant, too.
