Residential Sandbox Algorithm
About
A three-dimensional sandbox placement algorithm that enables vertical stacking and layered construction. Players can place streetlights on sidewalks, build elevated roads with structural supports, and compose complex cityscapes through intuitive grid-based interactions.
Features
Vertical Stacking System
Objects snap to surfaces of existing placements, enabling multi-layer construction. Streetlights mount on sidewalks, signs attach to buildings, and infrastructure layers naturally.
Elevated Road Support
Raised roads automatically generate structural supports that anchor to the terrain or existing roads below, maintaining visual and physical consistency across elevation changes.
Grid-Based Collision Resolution
A spatial partitioning system validates placements in real time, preventing overlaps while allowing intentional stacking on designated surface attachment points.
Contextual Snap Points
Each placeable object defines valid attachment surfaces and orientations. The algorithm matches compatible snap points between objects to guide players toward structurally sound builds.
