Once you’ve finished binging Stranger Things, why not use the holiday break to learn game AI programming? 😎

If you’re up for the challenge, I made a 20+ hour course covering everything from theory to practice! 🧑‍💻

(Oh, and there’s a cheeky 50% discount in the next tweet! 🎁👇)

Let me introduce you to Drew's Campfire's channel, about elusive and interesting science and math concepts. ✨

Their video on the chaotic nature of double pendulum features some REALLY good animations! 😎

Yesterday, the Epic Games Store decided at the last minute not to distribute the game, after having previously approved a release build. HORSES is otherwise now available on GOG, Itch, and Humble for $4.99. www.horses.wtf

My documentary about the World Generation of #Minecraft has reached 2M views. For a small channel like mine, this feels such a big achievement. ✨

Thank you so much for all the love and support! 🤗

A not-so gentle introduction to Orbital Mechanics! 🪐

My longest article is finally out! 📜

80 pages of interactive diagrams, for a deep dive into the fascinating topic of gravity simulations, Keplerian orbits, and orbital elements! 🚀

I'm working on a new explorable article! 🤩

It will cover one of the topics I'm most passionate about: orbital mechanics. 🚀

Get ready for a full derivation of the equations that govern the Keplerian orbits, with full code! 🪐

Is there anything you'd like to see covered? 📃

GitHub - KaptainWutax/BiomeUtils Contribute to KaptainWutax/BiomeUtils development by creating an account on GitHub.

I know right? Mojang is not very keen to have their source code around, even the decompiled one.

I'd suggest checking this though, which may be a good starting point at least for the biomes!

Last week, Goldsmiths hosted a 48-hour game development hackathon on campus, with participants working day and night to develop a game around the theme 'bubble'.
