Bug: Falling through blocks from a height

[Bergasms]

is collision detection being done using the current location, if so it should either be changed to handle a collision anywhere on the line from the previous location to the current location, or fall speed should be capped at a limit so that you cannot completely move through a box when falling maybe.

Collision detection uses the current location. See the collide method.

Ta, I have been following this project but haven't had a chance to apply anything. If no one else gets to it i might have a go at fixing collision to check for intersection over the step from N-1 to N

It's not too crazy to cap the falling speed. Bodies falling DO have a maximum speed.
Anyhow, this doesn't fix the fact that collision of a body at high speed could fail being detected.
@Bergasms At a higher speed could N-1 to N not be enough??

[Bergasms]

N-1 to N will always be enough, As there will always be an N-1 such that the player has not fallen through the block, followed by an N where they have either contacted or passed through the block. Maintaining the players location at the previous tick is useful for all sorts of reasons as well. If the player somehow gets themselves into an invalid position you can just roll them back.

@Bergasms Totally right, you used the segment to check for a block in the middle, ty!!
