Submitted my entry last night; you just want the ProximityManager class via mesh@adobe.com, correct?

Just submitted my entry, looking forward to seeing the top entries (I’m pretty certain mine isn’t one of them!) to see how they got such blazing performance!

@Kishi

You need to return a new Vector from getNeighbors().

@Kishi

Yes, you need to use the bounds passed in. That is what I was trying to clarify.

By the way, you said that the bounds are passed ‘because some implementations dont require it. Ill change the test code so it is always passed in (and you can use it if you need to)’.

Does that mean that we don’t have to respect it?
I mean, what if you getNeighbors() to a DO near the bounds and it returns a DO outside it?
If you can just ignore the bounds because of your implementation, you wouldn’t know it’s outside the box.

Hey, there.

Quick question:
Who’s the getNeighbors() response (the vectors) owner?
Can we reuse them or should we leave them for outside use?

@Arnauld

All of your questions are addressed in clarifications I have made in the comments.
