I discovered there was Unity for Debian/Ubuntu recently

2018-11-09 07:20:21 UTC  

It ran ok on my system

2018-11-09 07:20:28 UTC  

but there was a lot to fix before it would run properly

This is my directional control code in Unity. All with High School level vector math.

2018-11-09 07:21:18 UTC  

If we taught kids math this way, it would be so much more fun.

2018-11-09 07:21:36 UTC  

It's so fun what you can do with a physics engine like that of Unity and some wacky vector math.

2018-11-09 07:21:45 UTC  

You can create gravitational systems, etc.

2018-11-09 07:22:12 UTC  

You can even create Escher like nonstandard physics lol

2018-11-09 07:22:42 UTC  

Oh, I'm sorry to hear you had to tinker with it to get it to run on Debian.

2018-11-09 07:23:44 UTC  

Yeah

2018-11-09 07:24:41 UTC  

It's fun to implement other physics systems with some basic math.

2018-11-09 07:24:59 UTC  

For example, a regular pendulum behaves in very simple patterns.

@R9b1t I'm Christians for black dolphins

2018-11-09 07:25:15 UTC  

Lol

2018-11-09 07:25:26 UTC  

racist

aquatics

2018-11-09 07:25:30 UTC  

lol

2018-11-09 07:25:39 UTC  

Damn xenoaquatics

2018-11-09 07:25:40 UTC  

The most fun I had learning physics was with javascript 2d on a canvas with processing js

2018-11-09 07:25:56 UTC  

What is processing js?

2018-11-09 07:26:08 UTC  

It's a 2D html canvas lib for js

2018-11-09 07:26:16 UTC  

makes drawing stuff simple

2018-11-09 07:26:16 UTC  

ohhh

2018-11-09 07:26:23 UTC  

Is it opengl?

2018-11-09 07:26:32 UTC  

No, just HTML5 canvas

2018-11-09 07:26:39 UTC  

L= length of wire while theta is the angle of the swing?

2018-11-09 07:26:42 UTC  

What are the primitives?

2018-11-09 07:26:50 UTC  

What do you mean?

2018-11-09 07:26:52 UTC  

just lines and pixels?

2018-11-09 07:26:59 UTC  

yeah

2018-11-09 07:27:00 UTC  

Or more interesting things?

2018-11-09 07:27:03 UTC  

oh

2018-11-09 07:27:07 UTC  

rects

2018-11-09 07:27:10 UTC  

ellipses

2018-11-09 07:27:17 UTC  

shapes basically

2018-11-09 07:27:18 UTC  

Well, then it's far cooler to use shader languages.

2018-11-09 07:27:24 UTC  

Do you know GLSL?

2018-11-09 07:27:29 UTC  

Nope
