Fixed Bugs
- fixed far away camera zoom at start, when no star were absorbed yet
- reduced absorption effect, especially in late game and if spaghettification is on
Added Features
- added a new universe option "Spaghettification"
Spaghettification
EPILEPSY WARNING
With the new update you can now decide to activate the "Spaghettification" function at universe options. If this is active, all stars can shatter into small pieces. This will happen when the external force acts on the star is greater than the internal force, which holds the star together. Only massive black holes and neutronstars can apply those forces.
After a star shattered into smaller pieces, the center of mass model is now applied for each of these pieces. This means that a piece, which is closer to a black hole, will be affected by a greater force than those which are further away. The result is a stretching of the star like a spaghetti.
With this effect you can now create your own accretion disk. But beware, this effect is much worse for epileptics. To get rid of the accretion disk, apply a big force in one (1s) and then in another direction (3s) via "Shift + WASD". This way you will absorb those tiny pieces. However, if you want to keep a accretion disk, move slowly and don't do jerky movements in other directions.
The drawback of the spaghettification is that it needs in average 1.5x more performance. This means, if it runs without spaghettification at 60 FPS, it will run most likely with it at 45 FPS. The reason for this is the higher amount of stars than usual as one star can shatter into more than 2.000 smaller star pieces. That's why you should start with a lower star count than usual.
So have fun with this new feature and delight yourself in void!
