Here's an update on everything that has progressed this week! Thank you for all your ongoing support!
Crimes
Thank you for your votes about what the next video should be. I've decided to go with the most popular option - 'Quirks and Bugs'. This week, I've been planning out that video and putting a storyboard together (which includes that froggy wanted poster). I'm looking forward to it!
I think I'll put every other video to a vote. So, this time, it was down to a vote. Next time, it'll be my choice, then a vote, then my choice. I think this will lead to a good balance! Also, it means that the vote will be definite. When I ask for a vote on something, I WILL go with the winning option.
BigPond
This week, I've also been experimenting with making a number of different sand engines from scratch. This time, I've been experimenting with some different ways of boosting performance, from simple to complicated. Hopefully, I can make a video about this one day (after I've experimented more). So far, it's going pretty well, and I can get around a million sand atoms running smoothly with javascript. My next step is to port it to C. The WIP repo is here: github.com/l2wilson94/BigPond
NumberTode
I've also been making a 'NumberTode' language that converts written number words into numerals. For example, 'twenty-three' becomes '23'. And 'two multiplied by three point one four' becomes '2 * 3.14'. This has been to test out MotherTode, my language-making language, and I hope to do a video about it one day. Here's the repo: github.com/l2wilson94/NumberTode
