SPHater fluid demo

This is my very own fluid demo. As its name implies, it uses smooth particle hydrodynamics to simulate the fluid particles. In the demo you can pick up the particles and toss it around. You can also visualize the fluid's properties.

Instructions can be found in the project's readme file.

Looks great! Reminds me of the fluid dynamics used for Where's My Water!

Out of curiosity, how is performance?

Performance is related to the number of particles. In a game like Where's My Water?, you won't really have much particles. It also depends on how many particles are clustered together. More particles together means more calculations. And since the simulation code is in GDscript, I could definitely get a lot more performance, by implementing it in NativeScript. But I have yet to know how to do that.

If your interested enough, you can script a little code to print out the FPS.

Edit: And if your even more interested, you can mess around with the constants in Constant.gd. They should be self explanatory.

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks!

I will definitely take a look at once I've finished the jam, as this looks really cool and I am curious on how it works :smile:

Oh you're working on the jam? Cool! I wish I could participate, but I got IRL stuff.

Yeah, it's been pretty fun! I've gotten a lot more done today that I thought I would.

That was me last Godot jam. I almost was not able to join this one, but things worked out just in time. Hopefully you can enter one of the future jams. I think the plan is to have Godot game jams more often, at least that is the impression I got from the post on the Godot site, so hopefully the wait till the next jam won't be too long.
