When a ripple gets close to the edge, the code creates a new ripple, which can cause a lot of new ripples to be created in a short time period if a ripple stays close to the edge. This can cause a significant performance drop, also known as \"lag\". \n\nLet's prevent creating new ripples if the current ripple is too close to the edge to avoid this issue.\n\nHere is the updated \"draw\" function:\n\n```javascript\nfunction draw() {\n background(255);\n for (let i = ripples.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {\n let ripple = ripples[i];\n ripple.radius += ripple.speed * ripple.direction;\n ripple.speed *= 1 - (0.01 / ripple.speed);\n ripple.alpha *= 0.98;\n\n if (!ripple.childrenCreated && ripple.radius > 50) {\n createChildrenRipples(ripple);\n }\n\n // Add a condition to prevent creating ripples too close to the edge\n if ((ripple.x - ripple.radius > 10 && ripple.x + ripple.radius < width - 10) &&\n (ripple.y - ripple.radius > 10 && ripple.y + ripple.radius < height - 10)) {\n if (ripple.x - ripple.radius < 0 || ripple.x + ripple.radius > width ||\n ripple.y - ripple.radius < 0 || ripple.y + ripple.radius > height) {\n createRipple(ripple.x, ripple.y, ripple.speed / 5, ripple);\n }\n }\n\n stroke(0, 0, 255, ripple.alpha);\n noFill();\n ellipse(ripple.x, ripple.y, ripple.radius * 2);\n\n if (ripple.radius > 500 || ripple.alpha < 1) {\n ripples.splice(i, 1);\n }\n }\n}\n```\n\nHere's how the modified function works:\n- The function iterates through each ripple in reverse order.\n- Each ripple's radius is increased and its speed and alpha are decreased.\n- If the ripple hasn't created child ripples and its radius is larger than 50, child ripples are created.\n- The new condition checks if a ripple is not too close to the edge of the canvas (10px away in this case). If it's true, the function checks if the ripple's radius has reached the edge of the canvas. If so, a new ripple is created.\n- The ripple's stroke color is set to blue with the alpha value, it's drawn on the canvas.\n- If a ripple's radius is larger than 500 or its alpha is less than 1, the ripple is removed from the array.\n\nThis should help reduce the \"lag\" you were experiencing. If you're still facing issues, we might need to adjust the parameters or optimize the code further.","project_id":494,"created_at":"2024-01-29T23:29:00.584041Z","output_tokens":null,"sender":"ai","code_id":31091,"deleted":0,"input_tokens":null,"id":18024},{"message":"how to make fps always stay above 10 while not affecting sim","project_id":494,"created_at":"2024-01-29T23:30:05.916355Z","output_tokens":null,"sender":"human","code_id":31096,"deleted":0,"input_tokens":null,"id":18025},{"message":"Maintaining a high frame rate while running complex simulations can be a challenge.

This can occur if the `speed` of a ripple becomes too high, causing the ripple to expand quickly and cover a large area.\n\nTo prevent this, you can add a check in the `draw()` function to limit the maximum `speed` of a ripple.\n\nHere's how you can do it:\n\n```javascript\nfunction draw() {\n ...\n for (let i = ripples.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {\n let ripple = ripples[i];\n\n // Limit the maximum speed of a ripple\n ripple.speed = min(ripple.speed, 5);\n \n // rest of the code\n }\n ...\n}\n```\n\nIn this updated function:\n\n- We use the `min()` function to ensure that `ripple.speed` does not exceed 5. If `ripple.speed` is greater than 5, it is set to 5.\n\nThis change should prevent the ripples from growing too large and creating big blue blotches. You can adjust the maximum speed to a value that works best for your project.","project_id":494,"created_at":"2024-01-29T23:52:18.525443Z","output_tokens":null,"sender":"ai","code_id":31158,"deleted":0,"input_tokens":null,"id":18048},{"message":"3d","project_id":494,"created_at":"2024-01-29T23:57:18.307663Z","output_tokens":null,"sender":"human","code_id":31175,"deleted":0,"input_tokens":null,"id":18049},{"message":"Implementing a 3D version of the ripple effect is considerably more complex than a 2D version. Instead of ripples being circles that expand, they would become spheres. We would also need a 3D rendering context, like WebGL, and a 3D library, like Three.js, to make this task easier. \n\nUnfortunately, a detailed step-by-step explanation on how to implement this in 3D is beyond the scope of this current interaction, which is focused on a 2D canvas. However, if you are interested, I can give you a brief idea of the steps:\n\n1. Set up a 3D environment using a library like Three.js.\n2. Instead of creating 2D circles for the ripples, create 3D objects like spheres.\n3. Modify the ripple creation and animation logic to work in 3D. For example, instead of expanding in radius, the ripples would need to expand in all three dimensions. Collision detection would also become more complex.\n4. Render the scene using the WebGL renderer.\n\nIt's a challenging task, especially if you are new to 3D programming, but it can be a great way to learn more about 3D graphics and WebGL. If you're interested in pursuing this, I would recommend starting with some tutorials on Three.js or another 3D library to get familiar with the basics of 3D programming.","project_id":494,"created_at":"2024-01-29T23:57:18.313835Z","output_tokens":null,"sender":"ai","code_id":31175,"deleted":0,"input_tokens":null,"id":18050}],"assets":[],"messages_sent":26,"comments":[{"content":"🤯","id":337,"user_id":10,"user":{"photo":null,"email":null,"recess_id":"073513aa-31b9-b540-f360-c66830c0cfc3","created_at":"2023-12-12T19:05:02.893791Z","reset_token":null,"stripe_customer_id":null,"seats":null,"username":"ka3lin","id":10,"password_hash":null,"updated_at":"2023-12-12T19:05:02.893793Z","reset_token_expiry":null,"subscription_status":null},"project_id":494,"created_at":"2024-01-29T23:31:43.873361Z","updated_at":"2024-01-29T23:31:43.873363Z"},{"content":"cool?","id":347,"user_id":14,"user":{"photo":null,"email":"howardthomasclaire@gmail.com","recess_id":"7c8ecf78-a75e-15ec-b11f-b7d4661ff838","created_at":"2023-12-12T21:13:30.547316Z","reset_token":null,"stripe_customer_id":null,"seats":null,"username":"lemonsarecool","id":14,"password_hash":"$2b$12$fiGY3tGGyHz6d8u/bsXIY.eGGFMpgKjFPhgdsoTZQ4DTnLohYNhFi","updated_at":"2023-12-12T21:13:30.547318Z","reset_token_expiry":null,"subscription_status":null},"project_id":494,"created_at":"2024-02-01T21:19:36.594271Z","updated_at":"2024-02-01T21:19:36.594273Z"},{"content":"Its meant to be ripple effect of water.\r\n","id":354,"user_id":2,"user":{"photo":null,"email":null,"recess_id":"a75a82d5-5ae6-41b7-d20f-788415be036d","created_at":"2023-12-11T22:13:50.357940Z","reset_token":null,"stripe_customer_id":null,"seats":null,"username":"gamerc0der","id":2,"password_hash":null,"updated_at":"2023-12-11T22:13:50.357943Z","reset_token_expiry":null,"subscription_status":null},"project_id":494,"created_at":"2024-02-02T20:58:11.054686Z","updated_at":"2024-02-02T20:58:11.054688Z"},{"content":"3 fps\r\n","id":427,"user_id":8,"user":{"photo":null,"email":null,"recess_id":"3f5f8324-2a21-d8d3-2d39-c7ba5cf76110","created_at":"2023-12-12T14:12:57.257630Z","reset_token":null,"stripe_customer_id":null,"seats":null,"username":"baian","id":8,"password_hash":null,"updated_at":"2023-12-12T14:12:57.257633Z","reset_token_expiry":null,"subscription_status":null},"project_id":494,"created_at":"2024-03-08T18:48:39.712068Z","updated_at":"2024-03-08T18:48:39.712069Z"},{"content":"Only... thats pretty high in some situations\r\nThis thing as laggy.
