What a great year! The channel has grown from nothing to almost 3000 subscribers, 10000 views, and the discord server has lots of active members all taking part. Simply put, a fantastic community has developed around the channel, and many have contributed code or reworked ideas shown in the videos. Here I show some of… Read More »
I wanted to end the year with a bigger project, so made this three part video creating a basic clone of the popular team battle game worms! This includes a physics engine, state machines for sequencing and artificial intelligence! Jx9
I got a request in the summer to do a video about augmented reality. Being a console programmer, I had to think about this but then remembered that I have a PhD in this sort of stuff! So I decided to revisit the webcam video but modify it to implement an optic flow algorithm, which… Read More »
Well it was on my to do list… I dislike flappy bird, mainly because it’s such a simple concept and was wildly popular. In this video I create a clone of flappy bird in the command prompt. Its the shortest code-it-yourself video yet. Jx9
A tricky video this one, as after I filmed the video, I realised it’s not exactly Perlin noise, but I didn’t have time to reshoot. Sometimes, we want to randomly generate things, but pseudo random number generators are just too random! Perlin developed an algorithm which adds local coherence to noise at different spatial scales,… Read More »
One of my earliest videos was a simple raytracing engine that ran in the command prompt. In fact, here it is: I felt it was time to give this project a bit more attention, and introduced textures and sprites into the engine. The end result has transformed the look of the engine, and you would… Read More »
Hello! The fantastic community developing around the YouTube channel are in fact, creating programs! Great! I thought it would be interesting to get the community to submit code/videos/anything that demonstrates their projects, and I’d create a special video towards the end of the year as a show case for all of my subscribers. I’ll be… Read More »
In many applications, you need to route something from one place to another, be it an NPC in games, or scenery, or graphing applications. The default algorithm for new programmers seems to be the A* algorithm. I created an interactive demonstration video that shows how the A* algorithm works. Jx9
I’ve often though the command line is underrated as a graphical tool, after all I’ve built a youtube channel around this. In this video I try to really push the boundaries and its moderately successful, but mostly unpleasant. Jx9
Well, my special “Programming The Matrix” video for celebrating 511 subscribers went really well. I was quite nervous at first, but there were viewers, and there were questions. At one point I had 33 concurrent viewers, so thanks to the actual 6 of you, and the 27 spam bots that were keen on learning how… Read More »
