The situation on the Vulpibus is never cheap it seems, though we have managed to get some things for free there's some we don't expect to be free at all.

Things we need:

Plywood
Sheet metal
Angle iron
Screws
A towing dolly for our car to be pulled behind the bus
Oil filter
A full engine check and service to deduce where coolant is leaking

Can we say $2000 to cover most of this?

We are still months away from me getting employed in a job where the pay will be something but not exactly much in the face of inflation.

Please find us free parking for a few months... PA, NJ or NY state

The Basics of Sonic Physics
The (very most barest) basics are explained in this five-minute video from Game Facts Special:

The (impossibly detailed) specifics are on Sonic Retro. Warning: you have no idea.

Can I summarize them briefly? Not really, but here's the basics. The tiles link to a list o

Imagine how unstable a fusion combustion engine would be?

The premise would be that you'd have 3 pistons, each feeding a crank shaft connected to a generator.

You'd also have this underwater or some other coolant as to siphon the heat away, maybe add a turbine to the shaft to help move the liquid away from the pistons.

The first combustion either blows up everything, rips the shaft apart, or provides just enough force to force the next piston to combust.

Godot 4.4 was released. In this version there are improvements to Shadowmasks for LightmapGI.

By enabling shadowmasks while baking your lightmaps, it is now possible to use static shadows in the distance and dynamic shadows up close. The lower resolutions far away will save precious resources, while the level of detail close to the player is not impacted.

Godot 4.4 was released. This version brings some improvements to the camera3D preview. Adjusting a Camera3D is now much less of a chore. Enjoy a preview of its capture directly in the inspector, without having to open another viewport or switching back and forth anymore.
