Further Development

Page 5 - Implementation - Cutting holes

This was a nightmare, but it's working. Full writeup coming soon (seriously requires lots of diagrams). For the moment, these screenshots demonstrate what we're getting at.

Essentially I needed to work out a recursive algorithm and a whole lot of exit conditions (so we don't waste time calculating if we don't have to) so that cutting holes was efficient and essentially unlimited in scale. The system I came up with also works with solid objects, such as detaching a huge block of tiles from a roof.

I'll flesh this page out further when I have more time. Sorry for the wait.
