No overlapping links

Well, I had way less time for development here in the Netherlands than I expected…

My hotel room was so small, it didn’t even have a table! So, I had to lie down in the bed to code, and after 10 mins my back was killing me…

Anyway, I fixed one of the oldest things in my to do list: overlapping planets/links… Sometimes the generation of the galaxy would lead to this:

So, there’s at least a link that passes through a planet… Of course, we can say “it’s below the planet”, but it looks bad, so I decided to remove those cases…

So, first try led to this:

It disappeared, but a lot of other links (valid ones) disappeared as well!

After some tweaking the point to line function, I got this result:

Which was exactly what I wanted… Now, I’m not sure if I want to remove the links that overlap other links as well (like in the bottom of that map)… It might look nicer, but less “real”…

Next few days I’m back to Portugal, but I have a thousand things to do, so not sure if I’ll have time for development…. can’t wait to start my new job to have a more “regular” life editing our documents with sodapdf software!
