Heute ist #Neumond, sagt mein mechanischer #Mondrechner "Meton". Und der muss es wissen.

Now when you load our solar system in #teskooano it calculates the actual position based on the epoch (like J2000 or later), TLE telemetry lines for earth-centric satellites, or Legrange points like L2 for JWST to create a live #ephemeris
Gaea is cool and everything, but what about fluvial erosion in #Blender with #GeometryNodes?
The concept rather simple:
- spawn points somewhere
- calculate a movement vector with ( N x (0,0,-1) ) x N, where N is the normal vector, sampled from the mesh surface (its a double cross product)
- update the points in a simulation zone
- accumulate the point proximity in a per-face attribute for the mesh. This requires a high res mesh
- optionally displace the mesh

Really just a devlog! I slapped a #mcclim #gui onto my simulation so that I could click a button rather than type actions over and over again.
Then, I really just figured out that one simple-starting-arrangement idea I had doesn't work, because the only vertical move that gets triggered is from the lowest row of a tile to the highest row of the same tile.
Small "improvements".

No programming this time! I compose a scenario where a tree that avoids both locusts and other trees accidentally spirals back into locusts it escaped earlier, leading the locusts to discover previously safe trees.

Last of my scrappy #gamedev where I spend more attention on introducing pieces of infrastructure for the first time than anything else.
Anyway, the simulation game is seen being both accessed and having commands sent to it from outside; the state-of-the-world is retrieved, and rendered (rendered in the sense of unicode characters being printed.
Tomorrow, more game-y.

I feel like this article is one of those moments that is a monumental achievement for the writer themselves, but precedes adding glitzy picture making (which will eventually come too).
If you remember, I was recapitulating my somewhat failed #lispgamejam #gamedev . This time and in about half a week just now - I got the plant/insect/bird Breitenbergian Vehicle simulation workin'.

*Looks around*
Is this payback for all the times I got bored or frustrated while playing SimCity?
#SimuTrans is an #opensource #transportation #simulation, a '90s-style #game! It comes with different graphics paks, so it never gets old.
Download the #Linux binary file, and put it under a local folder (e.g. uncompress it under ~/Applications/). Then edit its /config/simuconf.tab to uncomment and change the option singleuser_install to 1. This will save all downloaded paks & save data on its own folder, instead of your home folder.
Des mégamachines à l’algocratie : la nouvelle architecture du contrôle global
Depuis 1945, deux mégamachines – #capitalismeDeMarché et #capitalismeDÉtat – ont verrouillé le #monde par la #centralisation et la #propagande.

De la simulation politique à l’algocratie : l’hyperréalité comme nouveau terrain du contrôle
Après le #spectacle (#Debord), l’#hyperréalité (#Baudrillard) s’impose : le #politique n’est plus représenté, mais simulé, prédit, manipulé par les #algorithmes.

just in time for WRATH MONTH i've put up a version of the lumpy gay space rock simulator for you all to enjoy
it's based on gravity like movies are sometimes based on real events

Why use hyperlinking if you can create videos recording screens recording screens, just to be able to document other people documenting your own work. The modern internet is just sooo amazing!
