Understanding stride and offset when interleaving attributes in a vertex buffer

I don't seem to be able to wrap my head around interleaving vertex attributes.
I'm trying to pass 3 attributes to my compute shader: position, velocity, and the number of times it has bounced off something. The code worked just fine before I added the nbr_bounce attribute. Now the data seems to not be aligned as I'm imagining it.
Creates the interleaved list of floats:
class ParticleSystem {
FloatList particleAttribList = new FloatList();
float[] particlesBuffer;
FloatBuffer fbParticles;
int numOfParticles;
ShaderProgram shaderProgram;
ComputeProgram computeProgram;
ParticleSystem(int count) {
numOfParticles = count;
for (int i=0; i<count; i++) {
Particle p = new Particle();
p.pos.x = random(-1, 1);
p.pos.y = random(-1, 1);
p.vel.x = 0.01;
p.vel.y = 0.01;
particleAttribList.append(p.pos.x);
particleAttribList.append(p.pos.y);
particleAttribList.append(p.vel.x);
particleAttribList.append(p.vel.y);
particleAttribList.append(p.nbr_bounces);
}
particlesBuffer = new float[particleAttribList.size()];
for (int i = 0; i<particlesBuffer.length; i++) {
particlesBuffer[i] = particleAttribList.get(i);
}
fbParticles = Buffers.newDirectFloatBuffer(particlesBuffer);
shaderProgram = new ShaderProgram(gl, "vert.glsl", "frag.glsl");
computeProgram = new ComputeProgram(gl, "comp.glsl", fbParticles);
}
Passes the list of floats to the Shader:
ComputeProgram(GL4 gl, String compute, FloatBuffer verticesFB) {
this.gl = gl;
//Load and Compile the Compute Shader
int compute_shader = shaderHelper.createAndCompileShader(gl, GL4.GL_COMPUTE_SHADER, compute);
compute_program = gl.glCreateProgram();
gl.glAttachShader(compute_program, compute_shader);
gl.glLinkProgram(compute_program);
gl.glGenBuffers(1, vbo, 0);
gl.glBindBuffer(GL4.GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, vbo[0]);
gl.glBufferData(GL4.GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, verticesFB.limit()*4, verticesFB, GL4.GL_DYNAMIC_DRAW);
gl.glEnableVertexAttribArray(0);
gl.glEnableVertexAttribArray(1);
gl.glEnableVertexAttribArray(2);
// Since the Particle struct has 2 vec2 variables + 1 int, then the stride is 16 + 4 = 20
// position attribute (no offset)
gl.glVertexAttribPointer(0, 2, GL4.GL_FLOAT, false, 20, 0);
// velocity attribute (with (2*4)=8 offset)
gl.glVertexAttribPointer(1, 2, GL4.GL_FLOAT, false, 20, 8);
// nbr_bounces (with (2*4 + 2*4)=16 offset)
gl.glVertexAttribPointer(2, 1, GL4.GL_FLOAT, false, 20, 16);
ssbo = vbo[0];
gl.glBindBufferBase(GL4.GL_SHADER_STORAGE_BUFFER, 0, ssbo);
}
Compute Shader:
#version 430
struct Particle{
vec2 pos;
vec2 vel;
float nbr_bounces;
};
layout(std430, binding = 0) buffer particlesBuffer
{
Particle particles[];
};
layout(local_size_x = 1024, local_size_y = 1, local_size_z = 1) in;
void main()
{
uint i = gl_GlobalInvocationID.x;
vec2 tmpPos = particles[i].pos + particles[i].vel;
if(abs(tmpPos.x) >= 1.0){
particles[i].vel.x = -1.0 * particles[i].vel.x;
particles[i].nbr_bounces += 1.0;
}
if(abs(tmpPos.y) >= 1.0){
particles[i].vel.y = -1.0 * particles[i].vel.y;
particles[i].nbr_bounces += 1.0;
}
particles[i].pos += particles[i].vel;
}

Android chart with variable line stroke width

I am trying to create Android App with chart with variable line stroke width like this one in the link.
I have tried to realize it with MPAndroidChart. Override drawCubicBezier method in LineChartRenderer class and to set dynamically setStrokeWidth on Paint. But nothing happens. Probably my knowledge is not enough to do it.
Can you help me how to achieve a different line thickness or if there is another chart library that has such functionality?
This is how I set my new Renderer
chart2.setRenderer(new myLineChartRenderer(chart2, chart2.getAnimator(), chart2.getViewPortHandler()));
This is the class
public class myLineChartRenderer extends LineChartRenderer {
public myLineChartRenderer(LineChart chart, ChartAnimator animator, ViewPortHandler viewPortHandler) {
super(chart, animator, viewPortHandler);
}
#Override

//mRenderPaint.setStrokeWidth(STROKE_WIDTH);
float phaseY = mAnimator.getPhaseY();
Transformer trans = mChart.getTransformer(dataSet.getAxisDependency());
mXBounds.set(mChart, dataSet);
float intensity = dataSet.getCubicIntensity();
cubicPath.reset();
if (mXBounds.range >= 1) {
float prevDx = 0f;
float prevDy = 0f;
float curDx = 0f;
float curDy = 0f;
// Take an extra point from the left, and an extra from the right.
// That's because we need 4 points for a cubic bezier (cubic=4), otherwise we get lines moving and doing weird stuff on the edges of the chart.
// So in the starting `prev` and `cur`, go -2, -1
// And in the `lastIndex`, add +1
final int firstIndex = mXBounds.min + 1;
final int lastIndex = mXBounds.min + mXBounds.range;
Entry prevPrev;
Entry prev = dataSet.getEntryForIndex(Math.max(firstIndex - 2, 0));
Entry cur = dataSet.getEntryForIndex(Math.max(firstIndex - 1, 0));
Entry next = cur;
int nextIndex = -1;
if (cur == null) return;
// let the spline start
cubicPath.moveTo(cur.getX(), cur.getY() * phaseY);
mPath.moveTo(cur.getX(), cur.getY() * phaseY);
for (int j = mXBounds.min + 1; j <= mXBounds.range + mXBounds.min; j++) {
prevPrev = prev;
prev = cur;
cur = nextIndex == j ? next : dataSet.getEntryForIndex(j);
nextIndex = j + 1 < dataSet.getEntryCount() ? j + 1 : j;
next = dataSet.getEntryForIndex(nextIndex);
prevDx = (cur.getX() - prevPrev.getX()) * intensity;
prevDy = (cur.getY() - prevPrev.getY()) * intensity;
curDx = (next.getX() - prev.getX()) * intensity;
curDy = (next.getY() - prev.getY()) * intensity;
cubicPath.cubicTo(prev.getX() + prevDx, (prev.getY() + prevDy) * phaseY,
cur.getX() - curDx,
(cur.getY() - curDy) * phaseY, cur.getX(), cur.getY() * phaseY);
mPath.cubicTo(prev.getX() + prevDx, (prev.getY() + prevDy) * phaseY,
cur.getX() - curDx,
(cur.getY() - curDy) * phaseY, cur.getX(), cur.getY() * phaseY);
mPaths.add(mPath);
// Log.i("Curve", (prev.getX() + prevDx)+" | "+ ((prev.getY() + prevDy) * phaseY)+" | "+ (cur.getX() - curDx)+" | "+ ((cur.getY() - curDy) * phaseY)+" | "+ cur.getX()+" | "+ (cur.getY() * phaseY));
}
}
// if filled is enabled, close the path
if (dataSet.isDrawFilledEnabled()) {
cubicFillPath.reset();
cubicFillPath.addPath(cubicPath);
//drawCubicFill(mBitmapCanvas, dataSet, cubicFillPath, trans, mXBounds);
}
mRenderPaint.setColor(dataSet.getColor());
mRenderPaint.setStyle(Paint.Style.STROKE);
trans.pathValueToPixel(cubicPath);
//mBitmapCanvas.drawPath(cubicPath, mRenderPaint);
for(int i=0; i<mPaths.size();i++)
{
mRenderPaint.setStrokeWidth(i+30);
mBitmapCanvas.drawPath(mPaths.get(i), mRenderPaint);
}
mRenderPaint.setPathEffect(null);
}
}
I tried to divide the path into separate parts and change the thickness of the line while drawing them, but the result is totally wrong.

WorldWind Java Google Earth Like Zoom

I've created an input handler for NASA Worldwind that I'm trying to replicate Google Earth like zooming with.
I'm trying to make zoom towards the mouse cursor, instead of the center of the screen (like it does by default).
I've got it somewhat working -- except it doesn't zoom towards the lat/long under the cursor consistently, it seems to drift too far. What I want to happen is that the same lat/long is held under the cursor during the duration of the zoom. So, for instance, if you are hovering the cursor over a particular landmark (like a body of water), it will stay under the cursor as the wheel is scrolled.
The code I'm using is based heavily on this: https://forum.worldwindcentral.com/forum/world-wind-java-forums/development-help/11977-zoom-at-mouse-cursor?p=104793#post104793
Here is my Input Handler:
import java.awt.event.MouseWheelEvent;
import gov.nasa.worldwind.awt.AbstractViewInputHandler;
import gov.nasa.worldwind.awt.ViewInputAttributes;
import gov.nasa.worldwind.geom.Position;
import gov.nasa.worldwind.geom.Vec4;
import gov.nasa.worldwind.view.orbit.BasicOrbitView;

#Override
public boolean inputActionPerformed(AbstractViewInputHandler inputHandler, MouseWheelEvent mouseWheelEvent,
ViewInputAttributes.ActionAttributes viewAction) {
double zoomInput = mouseWheelEvent.getWheelRotation();
Position position = getView().computePositionFromScreenPoint(mousePoint.x, mousePoint.y);
// Zoom toward the cursor if we're zooming in. Move straight out when zooming
// out.
if (zoomInput < 0 && position != null)
return this.zoomToPosition(position, zoomInput, viewAction);
else
return super.inputActionPerformed(inputHandler, mouseWheelEvent, viewAction);
}
protected boolean zoomToPosition(Position position, double zoomInput,
ViewInputAttributes.ActionAttributes viewAction) {
double zoomChange = zoomInput * getScaleValueZoom(viewAction);
BasicOrbitView view = (BasicOrbitView) getView();
System.out.println("================================");
System.out.println("Center Position: \t\t"+view.getCenterPosition());
System.out.println("Mouse is on Position: \t\t"+position);
Vec4 centerVector = view.getCenterPoint();
Vec4 cursorVector = view.getGlobe().computePointFromLocation(position);
Vec4 delta = cursorVector.subtract3(centerVector);
delta = delta.multiply3(-zoomChange);
centerVector = centerVector.add3(delta);
Position newPosition = view.getGlobe().computePositionFromPoint(centerVector);
System.out.println("New Center Position is: \t"+newPosition);
setCenterPosition(view, uiAnimControl, newPosition, viewAction);
onVerticalTranslate(zoomChange, viewAction);
return true;
}
}
public ZoomToCursorViewInputHandler() {
ViewInputAttributes.ActionAttributes actionAttrs = this.getAttributes()
.getActionMap(ViewInputAttributes.DEVICE_MOUSE_WHEEL)
.getActionAttributes(ViewInputAttributes.VIEW_VERTICAL_TRANSLATE);
actionAttrs.setMouseActionListener(new ZoomActionHandler());
}
}
To enable, set this property in the worldwind.xml to point to this class:
<Property name="gov.nasa.worldwind.avkey.ViewInputHandlerClassName"
value="gov.nasa.worldwindx.examples.ZoomToCursorViewInputHandler"/>

After some thinking over this problem I believe there is no closed form analytical solution for it. You just have to take into account to many things: shape of the Earth, how the "eye" moves when you move the center. So the best trick I think you can do is to "follow" the main "zoom" animation and do small adjustments after each animation step. As animation steps are small, calculation errors should also be smaller and they should accumulate less because on next step you take into account all the previous errors. So my idea in the code is roughly following: create a FixZoomPositionAnimator class as
static class FixZoomPositionAnimator extends BasicAnimator
{
static final String VIEW_ANIM_KEY = "FixZoomPositionAnimator";
static final double EPS = 0.005;
private final java.awt.Point mouseControlPoint;

int stepsNoAdjustments = 0;
FixZoomPositionAnimator(BasicOrbitView orbitView, Animator zoomAnimator, java.awt.Point mouseControlPoint, Position mouseGeoLocation)
{
this.orbitView = orbitView;
this.zoomAnimator = zoomAnimator;
this.mouseControlPoint = mouseControlPoint;
this.mouseGeoLocation = mouseGeoLocation;
mouseGeoPoint = orbitView.getGlobe().computePointFromLocation(mouseGeoLocation);
}
public Point getMouseControlPoint()
{
return mouseControlPoint;
}
public Position getMouseGeoLocation()
{
return mouseGeoLocation;
}
private static int sign(double d)

if (Math.abs(d) < EPS)
return 0;
else if (d > 0)
return 1;

}
double calcAccelerationK(double dSign, double lastDSign)
{
// as we are following zoom trying to catch up - accelerate adjustment
// but slow down if we overshot the target last time
if (!zoomAnimator.hasNext())
return 1.0;
else if (dSign != lastDSign)
return 0.5;
else
{
// reduce acceleration over time
if (stepNumber < 10)

Update
FixZoomPositionAnimator was updated to take into account the fact that one a large scale you can't assume that longitude and latitude lines go parallel to X and Y. To work this around reference points around the center are used to calculate adjustment. This means that the code will not work if the globe size is less than about 20px (2*stepPx) or if the user has tilted the Earth making latitude/longitude significantly non-parallel to X/Y.
End of Update
Update #2
I've moved previous logic to nextOld and added nextWithTilt. The new function should work even if the world is tilted but as the base logic is more complicated now, there is no acceleration anymore which IMHO makes it a bit worse for more typical cases. Also there are still a log of logging inside nextWithTilt because I'm not quite sure it really works OK. Use at your own risk.
End of Update #2
and then you may use it as

Cube texturing in opengl3

Just doing my computer graphics assignment - put texture (600x400 bitmap with different numbers) on a cube to form a proper dice. I managed to do it using "classical" texture mapping: creating verices and adding corresponding texture coordinates to it:

Passing all this stuff to shaders and just putting it up together.
But reviewing the slides i noticed this method is supposed to be "pre opengl3".
Is there any other method to do this stuff?
In lecture examples i noticed putting it up together in the vertex shader but it was just for a simple 2d plane, not a 3d cube
tex_coords = vec2(vPosition.x+0.5,vPosition.z+0.5);
and later passed to fragment shader to create the texture.

But reviewing the slides i noticed this method is supposed to be "pre opengl3".
I think your slides refer to the old immediate mode. In immediate mode each vertex and its attributes are sent to OpenGL by calling functions that immediately draw them.
In your code however you're initializing a buffer with vertex data. This buffer may then passed as a whole to OpenGL and drawn as a batch by only a single OpenGL call. I wrote "may" because there's not a single OpenGL call in your question.

collision detection doesn't push back

Alright, so I'm working on collision detection for a 3d game, this is what I got so far:
public void mapCol(Spatial map, Node model2){
Mesh m = (Mesh) ((Node) map).getChild("obj_mesh0");
int c = 0;
m.updateWorldBound(true);
boolean col = false;
c = m.getMeshData().getPrimitiveCount(0);
// System.out.println(c);
Vector3[][] v3 = new Vector3[c][3];
for(int s = 0; s < c; s++){
v3[s] = null;
v3[s] = m.getMeshData().getPrimitive(s, 0, v3[s]);
Vector3 min = new Vector3((float)Math.min((float) Math.min(v3[s][0].getXf(), v3[s][1].getXf()), v3[s][2].getXf()),
(float)Math.min((float)Math.min(v3[s][0].getYf(), v3[s][1].getYf()), v3[s][2].getYf()),
(float)Math.min((float)Math.min(v3[s][0].getZf(), v3[s][1].getZf()), v3[s][2].getZf()));
Vector3 max = new Vector3((float) Math.max((float)Math.max(v3[s][0].getXf(), v3[s][1].getXf()), v3[s][2].getXf()),
(float)Math.max((float)Math.max(v3[s][0].getYf(), v3[s][1].getYf()), v3[s][2].getYf()),
(float)Math.max((float)Math.max(v3[s][0].getZf(), v3[s][1].getZf()), v3[s][2].getZf()));
Vector3 v2 = new Vector3();
v2 = max.add(min, v2);
v2.divideLocal(2);
if(max.getXf() > model2.getTranslation().getXf() - sp1.getRadius()&&
min.getXf() < model2.getTranslation().getXf() + sp1.getRadius() &&
max.getZf() > model2.getTranslation().getZf() - sp1.getRadius() &&
min.getZf() < model2.getTranslation().getZf() + sp1.getRadius() &&
max.getYf() > model2.getTranslation().getYf() + sp1.getRadius()&&
!col){
float cosine = (float) v2.dot(v2);
float angle = (float) Math.toDegrees(Math.acos( cosine ));
float pangle = (float) Math.toDegrees(Math.atan2((min.getX() + ((max.getX() - min.getX())/2)) - model2.getTranslation().getX(), (min.getZ() + ((max.getZ() - min.getZ())/2) - model2.getTranslation().getZ())));
if(min.getY() < max.getY()){
System.out.println("pangle:" + pangle + " angle:" + angle);
model2.setTranslation(
(min.getX() + ((max.getX() - min.getX())/2)) - (Math.sin(Math.toRadians(pangle)) * (sp1.getRadius())),
model2.getTranslation().getYf(),
(min.getZ() + ((max.getZ() - min.getZ())/2)) - (-Math.cos(Math.toRadians(pangle)) * (sp1.getRadius()))
);
col = true;
}
}
}
}
Now the part to really look at is right here:
model2.setTranslation(
(min.getX() + ((max.getX() - min.getX())/2)) - (Math.sin(Math.toRadians(pangle)) * (sp1.getRadius())),
model2.getTranslation().getYf(),
(min.getZ() + ((max.getZ() - min.getZ())/2)) - (-Math.cos(Math.toRadians(pangle)) * (sp1.getRadius()))
);
Any idea why it wouldn't set model2 modle2's radius away from the wall? (making it stop at the way and able to go no further)

float cosine = v2.dot(v2)
is intentional ?
Because it just gives you length of v2, squared.
Probably that should be
float cosine = velocity.dot(normalVector)/(velocity.length()*normalVector.length())
, if you wanted cosine of angle between them, but I don't fully understand your code, so I don't know.
