MAKING A GAME IN 10 MINUTES!!
YouTube video by Brackeys MAKING A GAME IN 10 MINUTES!!

i always thought brackeys did a great job for unity tutorials, but especially this "create a game in 10 minutes" video. the title is a bit clickbaity but it's a good horizontal slice of the engine in a succinct way, showing how lots of different systems fit together

On Lacework: watching an entire machine-learning dataset | unthinking.photography I proposed what would become Lacework in the Summer of 2019. In my proposal, I describe a cycle of videos curated from MIT's 'Moments In Time' dataset, each then slowed down, interpolated, and upscale...

i keep thinking about this essay. it's about watching every single video within a machine learning dataset. what that does to you. unthinking.photography/articles/on-...

slime based dithering
using slime moulds sims and render textures to make a form of "dithering"slime mould parameters (speed of particles, turning rates, affectation by source pix... slime based dithering

here's some footage of the slime-based-dithering working in real time, walking around a bit. the parameters for the slime (like particle speed, attraction/repulsion to other particles, "weight" of the underlying image, etc) is controlled by some physical midi knobs

i had a weird urge to tweet recent but the idea of actively posting on a elon-musk owned website made me want to throw up.

i hope bluesky is better because it seems more active and less tech-nerd focused than mastodon, and less niche than cohost. hope they get rid of the invite-only system though

trees

made in unity via a compute shader. it's a "slime mould" simulation where the particles are attracted to the results of a camera placed in the world. reacting in real time to create this
