There will also be functional objects later. We are adding just a few decorations for now to test the limits and how players will use it. The distance at which objects blend to blocks can be adjusted in the options. Objects further away will not have any decrease in fps that way. That means that from afar, shapes will automatically turn into either cubes, вЂњspritesвЂќ (like current flowers for example), or completely transparent. The game automatically handles natural Level of Detail. Those shapes can pretty much be any 3d object. This means, we now have the speed of C/C++ for the performance critical parts, while still keeping the convenience of java. Comparison testing has shown around 7 times performance increase compared to the old asteroid generation.ДЇurther native library usage will be used for other CPU heavy parts of the game. Thanks to native libraries and SIMD instructions this new system has a large performance increase over the previous system, therefore asteroids should generate faster and put less load on the CPU by doing so. This system has tweaked asteroid generation to produce larger and more natural looking asteroids.

A lot of things in the pipeline have finished, while others are still being worked on.ДЄ new (faster) system for generating terrain noise has been added. ~ fixed Structure HP being negative due to Integer overflow (only happened when SHP amount was achieved with mostly one block type) ~ updated language file to latest version ~ fix for crash using SIMD if wrong processor information was provided by OS ~ further optimized Asteroids to generate even faster

~ code is now lwjgl3 ready (still waiting to switch for more stable GLFW version, and new launcher to deploy java as lwjgl3В requires java8) ~ fixed sound switching off completely at some instances
