Added! (About a month late - haven’t checked here in a while - have had construction going on at my place and lots of Christmas to do).

Absolutely agreed. I notice it every time all of my friends get up in arms about a new Resident Evil game, and I just have to look at them and ask “How can you play that?” The controls are absolutely atrocious. It’s disheartening to see titles that could otherwise be interesting turn to crap because of poor interfaces. I loved Mass Effect, but I cringe every time I have to open up the inventory, rifle through selling/deleting things to free up space, and watch how the cursor jumps all the way to the top of the list after each change. Its likely something that could have been changed in a few lines of code.

On the topic of usability though, can we get a search bar for this blog?

Just wondering, but you mentioned changing the passing of Lists to use the ref keyword. Isn’t that unnecessary, since List is a reference type? As far as I understand it, adding the keyword is only necessary when dealing with value types, which are copied by default.

Otherwise, great post. Probably the best run-down and tutorial on Quadtrees I have ever read. I implemented your system awhile back on a game project for class that had several hundred moving particles of different scales all doing collision, and with modifications to handle position changing it worked amazingly well. There was a point where having lots of empty nodes was a problem, but running a quick cull on all empty nodes each frame solved the issue.

[...] en el caso en el que dos objetos se encuentren en el mismo voxel. ¿Parecido con el Quadtree? Bastante, la diferencia está en que aquí no hay voxels [...]
