Study Notes
Binary Space Partitioning (BSP)
- BSP is a method for subdividing a space into two convex sets using hyperplanes.
- This process results in a tree data structure called a BSP Tree.
Why use BSP?
- Organization: BSP helps manage complex environments by dividing them into smaller regions. This improves:
- Resource allocation
- Collision detection
- Pathfinding
- Level design flexibility
- Rendering efficiency
- Experience: BSP keeps gameplay fresh by creating random environments and unique layouts with each playthrough, enhancing replayability.
- Randomization: BSP creates different game layouts with each run by recursively splitting the environment into non-overlapping subspaces.
