Class ExplodingBuildingPrototype

java.lang.Object
Savage.Tools.Explosions.ExplodingBuildingPrototype
public class ExplodingBuildingPrototype extends Object

A simple prototype for exploding structure components, experimenting with the "Hello World" of explosions. This prototype demonstrates a simplified and scalable approach for modeling explosions. Each chunk of geometry inside an Exploder prototype is given initial/final position/orientation. Intermediate heights for each polygon are at the same height as the distance traveled over ground.
