Curveball Launches as Curve Generator for Neverball
Key points
- Curveball is a new curve generator for Neverball.
- Available as a web tool and downloadable desktop app.
- Source code is open on GitHub.
Introduction to Curveball
Curveball is a new tool designed for generating curves in the open-source game Neverball. This tool aims to enhance the level design process by allowing the creation of elaborate curve shapes, which are not possible with the existing curve generator, curve.c.
Development Background
The creator of Curveball developed this tool while working on a new level set for Neverball. The previous tool, curve.c, was limited to circular arcs and required additional functionalities for more intricate designs. Curveball consolidates various scripts into a single tool with a visual interface.
Technical Implementation
Curveball is built using the Rust programming language, emphasizing ease of use for developers familiar with Rust. The tool introduces a novel approach to defining geometric shapes, utilizing halfspaces to form 'brushes' that define level geometry in Neverball.
Accessing Curveball
Users can access Curveball as a web application or download it for desktop use from GitHub. The source code is publicly available, allowing developers to compile and modify the tool as needed.
