Items on the floor, now. Two random opposing positions around the center of the tile are calculated so they don't overlap. At least that's the hope. I'll have to be cautious about object size. Sin and cos are used to calculate the positions as a kind of orbit. #gamedev #godot

Raw data from the simulation now leads to objects being placed when loading the visual room. The only objects that exist right now are chairs and tulips. That’s all anyone really needs. (“Visual” is to differentiate the room the player is viewing. All other rooms are simulated behind the scenes.)
A test 3d game scene. There is a happy face in the back. In front, there is a red chair and a green flower. All of this is in a simple room with lava.

Hands full of algae, she wades waist deep in a disgusting swamp, amazed by the heavenly microscopic life all around them.
