Charles BernadezFinally, Sumusunod Na Rin Ang Gyrating Jets 😭

After ilang rounds ng “BAKIT DIYAN KA PUMUPUNTA?!” 😂, I finally got the gyrating behavior working the way I wanted.

It can now move in the direction I give it, spin clockwise and counterclockwise, and the floral jets are behaving properly too. Finally, may sumusunod na rin sa akin. 😭

Ang current kalaban? —Responsiveness. Every burst still has around 2–3 seconds of delay. Parang may sariling decision-making process muna bago tumalsik. 💦 So that’s the next thing I need to fix.

After that, I want to start giving the simulation some actual ✨environment✨—grass, people, buildings, and eventually maybe even a scale model of the actual site. But rule number one: smooth real-time performance stays. Walang aesthetic-aesthetic kung 5 FPS naman.

For this test, I’m back again with the fountain layout inspired by **Luneta / Rizal Park in Manila** 🇵🇭—one of the country’s most iconic parks.

And the song?

“eight” by IU feat. SUGA. 🎶

Why IU again?

You already know the answer.
Basta. Ako gumagawa, ako masusunod. HAHAHA. 💜😂
At this rate, fountain simulator ❌
IU concert simulator na may tubig ✅

One bug at a time… hanggang maging “teka, simulation lang ’yan?!” 👀💦
