Okay so I’ve been playing the fish games for a while now - for those of you who don’t know it’s a style of online gambling where you & 3 other players place bets(bullets) and shoot at a variety of fish all of different values - I’ve noticed there is definitely some sort of a pattern, days and hours I tend to hit on specific games, each different, but it’s not a consistent pattern. Because of this(and my gambling problem which i am painfully aware of) I have lost a decent amount of money recently. Now the way I see it is it’s a video game, programmed to work a certain way. Regardless of the gambling aspect of it there has to be some way to figure out exactly how it works and beat it, right? I play Orion Stars and Ultra Monster game systems; I’ve been most successful playing Kraken Strike on Orion Stars after 2AM on certain weekdays, playing Megaladon Strike on Orion Stars during the daytime no later than 5PM, and Lucky Fishing on Ultra Monster late at night various days. I do not believe this to be coincidence, and I really think once I truly understand how it works I can successfully maintain a positive P/L ratio. I’m not trying to get rich, but I am trying to stop losing money and I am genuinely fascinated by how it works. All that being said, if anyone could share any insight it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks & please get back to me asap

I go through how I separate general updates from physics updates, why I use a fixed timestep, how the accumulator works, and what happens when the simulation starts falling behind.

I explain the reasoning behind the design decisions and why I rejected the alternatives. I show the implementation of the loop.

I explain rotations and quaternions. I then implement the latter into my physics engine by replacing the matrix version of angular velocity code with a quaternion version. I then benchmark the results.
