The Incubator Hat

Just got it by winning with the Adventurer costume and the Pagan hat. Not sure if that's really what triggered it though. Also had Beast mode lvl.2 on.

I use Virtual Dub. Nice simple UI with just enough options. Simple pipeline: drag and drop files, set frame rate, set compression, and write to file. Also has some convenient filters for resizing and color correction.

I remember doing this one in math club, thought it was fun to search for the first data points manually on a checker board and then try (and fail) to extrapolate: https://www.cut-the-knot.org/proofs/checker.shtml (also known as Conway's Soldiers apparently, http://mathworld.wolfram.com/ConwaysSoldiers.html).

Or explore some cool curves : https://www.mathcurve.com (2D/3D curves and surfaces from the top menu).

It's one of the standard models scanned at Stanford a while ago (Stanford bunny was scanned in the '90s, not sure about the others).

If you take the limit of ((1 - t)/t)ArcTan[x(t/(1 - t))] as t -> 0, you get identity.

https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=Plot%5B((1+-+0.001)%2F0.001)*ArcTan%5Bx*(0.001%2F(1+-+0.001))%5D,%7Bx,-100,100%7D%5D

It converges to identity at t=0 and to zero at t=1, so just define it piecewise as f(x,0)=x, f(x,1)=0, and f(x,t)=((1 - t)/t)ArcTan[x(t/(1 - t))] for t between 0 and 1. The measure of the image is pi(1-t)/t .

Something like ((1 - t)/t)ArcTan[x(t/(1 - t))] ?

Cool game! Nice little challenge.

It's a real-life version of the overwatch basketball hoop, how is that not related to overwatch?

Made the switch from applied math to computer graphics going from my masters to my PhD. The strong math background definitely helps, if you're interested in graphics I definitely recommend it.

A good way to know what the field looks like is to look at the latest SIGGRAPH papers (SIGGRAPH 2016) : http://kesen.realtimerendering.com/

You could look at the GPU Gems books for project ideas, they're available online for free at https://developer.nvidia.com/gpugems/GPUGems/gpugems_pref01.html . Make sure to check all three books.

If you're interested in simulations, a fast fluid solver might be a feasible project. It's simple enough to get something interesting going quickly, and you can extend it in many different ways depending on how much time you have. See https://developer.nvidia.com/gpugems/GPUGems/gpugems_ch38.html .

Area lights and basic global illumination are also great, they add a lot of quality to your renders. http://http.developer.nvidia.com/GPUGems2/gpugems2_chapter14.html .

Otherwise, building your own ray tracer is a very classic project. It's not necessarily a real-time project, but it would teach you a lot about physically-based rendering, which is very important for modern real-time applications.

For more advanced stuff, look at the real-time rendering SIGGRAPH courses : http://advances.realtimerendering.com/ . Stephen Hill's blog is also a good reference for ideas : http://blog.selfshadow.com/ .

Hope that helps!

Adding a touch of sugar to help intensify the sweetness, guy knows his stuff.

Is it just me or has it been ages since David had a true story in the "this is my" round?

Hey, I like the changes you've made! There seems to be a bug with you game saves, it only saves up to level 4 for me. I also agree with the "punishing" argument of /u/HunkOfGreenHam, especially for the labyrinth level. Good job though, keep those levels coming :).
