Quick and dirty prototype of using raycasts to move physbone colliders for immersive finger movement

VRChat SDK 3.10.3 added the [Raycast](https://creators.vrchat.com/avatars/avatar-components/raycast/) component for avatars and this lets us do some fun stuff with colliders. Namely, when the ray comes into contact with a surface (others avatars, world geometry or both - this can be set accordingly!), it moves a results transform object to the point of contact. Think hitscan weapons from FPS games. We can set a gameobject that has a VRC Phys Bone component as that results transform object for t

Apparently you can now touch the world with VRChat's latest addition: Raycast

[OS] SuperCmd — Open-Source alternative to Raycast Pro

**Hi Everyone, Introducing SuperCmd!** **Open-Source alternative to Raycast Pro + WisprFlow + Speechify with Excalidraw** I released SuperCmd some time ago and it hit **1k Github stars in first 10 days**. It's completely free with no limits and dev community is loving it! **Problem**: I was using Raycast, WisprFlow, Notion for note taking and Excalidraw for diagrams. Raycast moves really slow, is closed source and has paywall, WisprFlow is not free, Excalidraw allows only one canvas, basicall

Show HN: TTF-DOOM – A raycaster running inside TrueType font hinting

TrueType fonts have a hinting VM that grid-fits glyphs. It has a stack, storage area, conditionals, function calls, and it turns out it&#x27;s Turing-complete. So I built a raycasting engine in the hinting bytecode.<p>The glyph &quot;A&quot; in the font has 16 vertical bar contours. The hinting program reads player coordinates from font variation axes via GETVARIATION, does DDA ray marching against a tile map in the storage area, and repositions bar heights with SCFS. It ends up looking like a c
