Jace
In that case, so I guess we have opted or we have found a solution for them to fly through the world.
Tobias
We have, yes.
So early on, I just started prototyping some stuff and I basically came up with a solution where
They don't really have to fly through the world, they just have to fly above it.
I made a system that I like to call the world grid.
And the world grid is basically a giant grid of squares covering the entire map.
And then each square in that grid keeps track of its highest location in the world.
So the drone uses this in order to find the shortest routes through the world, but also flying as low as possible,
Jace
basically.
So it's like a rough approximation, I guess.
Tobias
Yeah, exactly.
Jace
Okay.
It was just, just fly over it.
It'll be fine.
I just fly over it.
It's all good.
