Random Simulation Compilation

[lecagot2]

I watch this and I sense that I am on the edge of truth, the threshold of reality and enlightenment or it could be I am just high. Let me think about it.

I always like to see videos like this, it shows me that academia is alive and well on youtube.

[TheReasonWhyGuy]

@Blacklemon67a academia is alive and well on youtube, however this isn't an academic video.

It's just a hobby creation :P

[Blacklemon67a]

@TheReasonWhyGuy That's kinda what I meant, I meant videos that display masterful coding rather than people making pointless videos about pointless things

[TheReasonWhyGuy]

@Blacklemon67a Yeah :)

Thanks for the kind words...I do post videos every once in a blue moon, if you want to subscribe ;D

I'M HOOKED

[TheReasonWhyGuy]

@joseakadaman Thanks :D

The music is by Vincent Parrish, an amazing indie music composer.

I'm working on another video with newer, more accurate simulations.

[1RothMan]

Nice. what is the music?

[gexwing]

how did you make them stick together? repelling force if they're close? i made some "gravity" (1/r and 1/r^2 force) particle simulations myself, it's fun to watch randomly placed points form clusters :)

[TheReasonWhyGuy]

@gexwing "how did you make them stick together?"

You'll have to be more specific... several simulations are in this video... so which one?

[TheReasonWhyGuy]

@gexwing When they collide, they transfer momentum...

[1DanConnors]

I thought this was your personal website with unlimited posting size. But I'm viewing a little ticker bar under this comment that has been steadily ticking down (from 500) ever since I started typing. Nice video by the way.

[raydredX]

I'm curious about what programs too?

[TheReasonWhyGuy]

@raydredX um... grammatically speaking, that makes no sense.

HOWEVER, I'll guess you're asking, either what language these are written in.

OR what the programs are called?

They are written using gml, which is similar to c++

And they are programs I made, which most don't technically have a "name"

They have project names...

[raydredX]

@TheReasonWhyGuy I omitted part of the phrase "what programs (you used) too".

But thanks for enlightening me.

[TheReasonWhyGuy]

@raydredX Sorry for being a grammar douche nazi :|

[raydredX]

@TheReasonWhyGuy It's fine! ;) Sorry, if I wasn't clear enough.

Really excellent! Is there a difference in intrinsic properties between the white and blue particles? I'd love to see the source code for the first four visualizations and the one starting 2:13. Looks like something I could use to visualize stellar or galactic evolution.

Cheers!

@julsHz "Is there a difference in intrinsic properties between the white and blue particles"

Kinda... the blue ones are softer and the white ones are hard. They have the same mass, and everything else :)

[wolfgangouille]

What programming langage do you use? I've done such things with MATLAB and developped a kind of simplified cells in java, on which I'd like to implement natural selection, in order to see what solutions evolution would find to a given problem.

[sp00x]

So, how many angry letters from religious people crying "STOP PLAYING GOD!" will you get now? ;)

[83N170]

Ooooh, blue and swirly, I like it!

[deepashtray]

So... that's how cheese is made: )

[TheraminTrees]

Eerily beautiful. Loved the simulations at 1:57 and 2:12 in particular — so alive.

[AncientAtheist]

Good to see ya around, TRWG! Happy holidays!

[badmephisto]

I really liked the "molecular" simulation. I tried to program one myself. Do you hardcode the notion of a "bond", or is it just pure pairwise forces? I struggled with how to get it working without hardcoding bonds, and also the total energy in my system would tend to build up for some reason. I was very interested in all this from abiogenesis point of view. Wouldn't it be amazing to get a replicator in a simulation?

[jmm1233]

reminds me of those little bubbles that float in coffee

[CognosSquare]

Nice! I used this video to explain to my friend what I meant in an argument about cosmology.

Could you be persuaded to do a simulation like the first one just to show why/how every element gets 6 exactly neighbours. Its is probably exactly the same as the first one but maybe only 50 elements and a bit of zoom.

[L00NGB00W]

Very interesting.

What do the multi-coloured simulations represent? Charge under gravity?

And the red one with yellow exploding dots? =\ Fusion?

[farvision]

@TheReasonWhyGuy I see. Looks like it not open source, though your simulations are really cool.

[farvision]

@TheReasonWhyGuy gml = Game Maker Language?

[volbla]

The first ones made me think of StonedCommander's old question why all planets are round. Simulations are neat. They are very intuitive.

[ozmoroid]

Super cool simulations. Thanks for sharing.

[CJCA915]

That's neat, it kinda reminds me of the ending of Dragon Heart with the stars, lol.

[jkingmarioman64]

@TheReasonWhyGuy what programs did you use those were cool.
