Rays | Rays is a light-weight MVC framework implemented PHP

I am still relatively new to the Unity environment and am currently working with reinforcement learning and ML agents. For this I wanted to add an agent to the 2D platformer.

I have attached two ray perception sensors to my agent. Unfortunately I can't get any hits with these sensors, at least they are not displayed as usual with a sphere in the gizmos.

The sensors are casting rays, but like you see in the image, they are not colliding.

The ray perception sensor are childs of the agent, defined in its prefab. I defined the sensors to collide with 4 tags: Untagged, ground, enemy and coin

I assigned the coin tag to the token, the enemy tag to the enemy and the ground tag to the tilemap forming the ground. The token has a circle collider, while the enemy has an capsule collider. On the tilemap there is a tilmap collider.

I would now expect the sensor to collide with the token, enemy and ground and display these hits in spheres, but it does not.
So, what am I doing wrong?

I’m stuck trying to figure out how to use .getTransform to determine what point A x1/y1 and point B x2/y2of each of my lines would be after translate and rotate. I've found other answers but they don't seem to target exactly what I need nor do I fully understand the matrix that gets returned.

From the snippet provided you can see that my lines always return their original values. I know there's a formula for this I just don't know it or how I would implement it.

What I need is the start and end points of every line. The plan will be to rotate (animated spinning) them to any angle and have those coordinates get used for ray casting. I've previously done this from a center point out or one direction to another but not with so many lines using the rotate method.

Here's the snippet

I want to do the controls like in Dota. There, when you click on any terrain, a point appears where the character needs to go. How to make this system? I am trying to do this with rays but cannot find the end position:

I am trying to make an animated bubble chart for a baseball league I'm in. Once I create the animated graph and convert it into a gif, it plots each team twice, as shown in the picture below. The legend should only hold 14 points/teams, but it shows 28 instead.

My code is the following:

I have a WPF desktop application that consumes Web API over VPN. Relevant details:

• App type: WPF
• .NET: 4.6.2
• OS: Windows 10
• VPN: Palo Alto GlobalProtect

And sometimes it throws an uncaught exception from HttpClient on application start:

How can I animate the the sun rays to go around the circle part of the sun. The svg is actually a background image if that matters.

As far as I know, all the techniques mentioned in the title are rendering algorithms that seem quite similar. All ray based techniques seem to revolve about casting rays through each pixel of an image which are supposed to represent rays of real light. This allows to render very realistic images.

As a matter of fact I am making a simple program that renders such images myself based on Raytracing in one Weekend.

Now the thing is that I wanted to somehow name this program. I used the term “ray tracer” as this is the one used in the book.

I have heard a lot of different terms however and I would be interested to know what exactly is the difference between ray tracing, ray matching, ray casting, path tracing and potentially any other common ray-related algorithms. I was able to find some comparisons of these techniques online, but they all compared only two of these and some definitions overlapped, so I wanted to ask this question about all four techniques.

I made a voxel raycaster in Unity using a compute shader and a texture. But at 1080p, it is limited to a view distance of only 100 at 30 fps. With no light bounces yet or anything, I am quite disappointed with this performance.

I tried learning Vulkan and the best tutorials are based on rasterization, and I guess all I really want to do is compute pixels in parallel on the GPU. I am familiar with CUDA and I've read that is sometimes used for rendering? Or is there a simple way of just computing pixels in parallel in Vulcan? I've already got a template Vulkan project that opens a blank window. I don't need to get any data back from the GPU just render straight to the screen after giving it data.

And with the code below would it be significantly faster in Vulkan as opposed to a Unity compute shader? It has A LOT of if/else statements in it which I have read is bad for GPUs but I can't think of any other way of writing it.

EDIT: I optimized it as much as I could but it's still pretty slow, like 30 fps at 1080p.

Here is the compute shader:

So I have a json list and use two input request.args.get('sport') and request.args.get('team') to find those values in my list. If the value is found I want to output more info on the team and sport.

This is what I tried to do:
