Britain is one of the world’s richest countries. Why do a third of children live in poverty?
It is a political choice - years of austerity, real wage cuts, regressive taxation, unchecked profiteering, disappearance of social housing, hijacking of govts by corporations/rich.

Britain is one of the world’s richest countries. So why do a third of its children live in poverty? | CNN
Child poverty has reached a record high in the United Kingdom as the country’s cost of living soars and its social security safety net falters following years of government austerity.

I've *almost* got dual quaternion interpolation going!
DQs naturally interpolate using a screw motion, which works for any two rigid poses

Another cool thing about the minimap creator:
I use Vertex Colors to select the sprite needed from the tilemap, allowing me to use just *1* material for them!
I still split them a little just for organization.
Also the vertex pain is done procedurally, so I have a total of zero work!

A 'texture atlas' is where you take the textures for several objects in a scene and combine them into a single set of maps.
The reason we do this is so that all the objects that use the atlas can be rendered in one call, rather than as dozens of separate calls, and with no state changes.
