Devlog 1.5 - Life

Another small update. I still wasn’t completely happy with the physics after my last devlog so I looked at the code of another particle life simulation and realised I was doing some of the calculations wrong. It turns out I never fully fixed the strong repulsion equation, also I was applying the friction in the wrong order. Aside from bug fixes, I incorporated delta (the real time since the last frame) into all the calculations to account for framerate fluctuations.

I’m now pretty happy with the way the particles interact, and I think I can start translating the code to run on the GPU - hopefully I don’t need to rewrite too much of it
