It has been over a year since I requested a set of CSG commands for AppGameKit (https://forum.thegamecreators.com/thread/212232?page=9#msg2558656) on the feature request thread. Now that AppGameKit is really growing on the 3D front, I'd like to suggest it again in case it has been forgotten about.

How cool would it be, to be able to smash 3D objects, or slice an object in two, or blow holes in buildings and landscapes, or even make our own 3D editors!

All the code required is available in DB-Pro (https://github.com/LeeBamberTGC/Dark-Basic-Pro/tree/Initial-Files/Dark%20Basic%20Public%20Shared/Dark%20Basic%20Pro%20SDK/Shared/Objects CSG.CPP / .H). I'm sure it wouldn't take too long for someone with Paul's ninja coding skills to implement.

Pretty please!

They're on my list, but too many other things to do at the moment!

You might not want to use the CSG code from DBPro.
It had very unstable behavior and was very slow.
It added too many polygons to the new objects and also left missing polygons.
It did not handle the UV data or the normals of the objects.
In my opinion it would not be worth the time it would take to implement.

P.S. you would need more than CSG to smash objects.
The coffee is lovely dark and deep,and I have code to write before I sleep.

Ok... maybe not use the DB-Pro CSG implementation. There's lots of open libraries to choose from (https://github.com/Arakis/Net3dBool, OpenCSG etc.). Just need to find one that works nicely and can handle real-time operations.

True, but with a comprehensive set of CSG commands, we'd have the building blocks to make our own "smash object" functions. We can decide how they should break up, and how each piece gets influenced by physics etc. It would be SWEET!

If only the amazing code Stabs made as part of his AGK2 bullet physics library made it into AGK....

But that's none of my business..
