Dev Log: Bezier Curves
This week has kinda sucked for game development stuff. I'm not really sure why, but I just haven't really felt super inspired to work on anything lately, and when I do try to work on things I feel like everything I make is just terrible so I procrastinate. It's a vicious cycle! So I tried to think of maybe something I can add to Otter because that should be easy enough.
I decided to try and just learn about bezier curves in more detail. I've never used them in a game, but it seems like they would be handy in a lot of aspects of game development. I found this quick tutorial and got started with recreating the example code in Otter.
Although... I'm not sure if this is looking quite right. I'm pretty sure I'm doing the same exact code in the example, but for some reason every curve on my bezier path has sharp end points with the next curve on the path... so for now I'm going to have to look into this further, but the current source is in the Util class in Otter's dev branch if anyone wants to give it a look!

It might be worth looking into Catmull Rom splines too. I prefer them for certain tasks, because all of the control points (except for the ends) actually lie on the path.
