I've been working very hard on the new Time Travel video! Most of the coding work is done and I'm currently in the process of recording voice-overs and video clips. I'm really looking forward to sharing it with everyone. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll finish it by the end of this mo...

Huegene Eater
I've been tinkering around with the huegene element in SandPond.
Recap: The huegene element gains energy over time. When it has enough energy, it reproduces. Every offspring has a slight mutation, causing it to be a slightly different colour.
Now, I've also m...

TESTING TODES

New Record
Good news! I finally managed to get sand to fall from one device to another. This connects together two different engines and computers, allowing you to make a much bigger sand world. Currently, I have my desktop running an engine written in WebGL. When sand gets to the bottom of the screen, it falls down to my laptop's engine, written in WebAssembly. This stitches ...

Sleepy Sand
I'm trying to get my different devices to communicate with each other (so that they combine their computing power to make a HUGE sand engine). This week, I managed to get my desktop to 'offer' sand atoms to the device 'below' it. I'm getting closer to having all 9 ways finished! I'm also starting to map out the video and write the script.

The bad news is that I have to self-isolate because I came into contact with Covid (again).
The good news is... that means I have nothing better to do expect stay at home and make a new video! I'll try to finish it tomorrow - watch out for it. I'm making the 'quirks and bugs' video that won the last video vote. Those messy pencil sketches are from its messy storyboard.

Here is my attempt #1 at a behind-the-scenes look at some code. Thank you for being my test audience - by forcing myself to publicly release whatever I make, I can practise and improve more effectively. There is a lot I would like to improve about this type of video, so I hope you enjoy the journey from these humble (and slightly long-winded) beginnings!
