Rational Numbers in Grid Games
2:42:15 - 2:49:40 (07:25)
The concept of angled lines in grid-based games, such as drawing slopes or intersecting sloped lines, can lead to the use of rational numbers instead of even, fixed integers. To make these games more efficient, players must separate their drawing into vertical and horizontal lines, creating finite orderings to improve gameplay with techniques like BSP trees.

Summary
BSP trees are a clever way to create multi-dimensional video game environments that are not restricted by the limitations of a grid system. Using walls to carve out other walls creates flexible fragments that can be used to create complex environments with sloped lines that are not limited to fixed point values.
