Minimum turning radius

[johnballantyne]

Can we safely assume that the internal angle of a turn will never be smaller than 90º? I'm talking about the turning radius set by the game's parameters, this is not something an individual player would have control over during gameplay.

In fig. 1 (below), the white path represents the player, the * is the turning point, the green paths are valid turns, and the red paths are invalid turns (too sharp, less than 90º).

This doesn't look very curvy.

90 degree turns? I thought we scrapped that idea.

How can we make curved paths in Babylon? I haven't encountered a way to do it but I may have overlooked something. I thought we agreed that turns would be made up of short line segments.

If we're doing line segments, the turns need to be defined by two variables: the minimum length of a segment and the angle. They work together to define the radius and smoothness of a turn

90 degree turns? I thought we scrapped that idea.

This is irrelevant to the question

Yeah that's what I was thinking, the lines have a speed (or lenght) and
they turn at a predefined angle every step, then you get something which
looks like Johns image
