-
- A convexified cell is a weird thing we have to do for our game (Jason,
- myself and a few others). It has to do with how the buildings are broken
- up so the engine can figure out what you can see and what you can't. If
- you have a square room, it's one cell. If you have and L-shaped room,
- it's two cells, since the L shave is concave (it folds in on itself), and
- for some reason I haven't asked about the cells MUST be convex (and the
- L would be broken into two rectangles.
-
- For all I know, this is just something our system does and no one else
- has to deal with (just us -- it would figure...)
-
- Now don't you wish you didn't asked? :)
