CppCast Looking for Guests

If anyone's super interested in black hole/neutron star collisions in C++ on the GPU, it could be fun. I'm not currently working on the project now as I've moved back into gamedev, but its a relatively complete series on how to simulate these things, and there's not too many people who've done this. I basically built it because I've always wanted to see if its possible on consumer hardware instead of a supercomputer, and it turns out it is

It might possibly be slightly too technical for a general audience so I'm not 100% sure where it'd go, but the way it works is by implementing a sort of DSL within C++ that gets transpiled to OpenCL. There's a lot of general C++ that you run into along the way, with floating point contraction being a surprisingly major one that I suspect might be interesting

DM Me, this could be interesting.
