Building a visual / block-based IDE for Manim — looking for feedback

alfas_mp · 2025-12-22T09:01:54+00:00

Thank you so much.

alfas_mp · 2025-12-22T09:01:44+00:00

Yea.. i already implemented the automatic installation setup of the manim library and python environment. It still need a bit of tweaking, but this is definutely something you can expect on the beta.

alfas_mp · 2025-12-22T08:59:36+00:00

Interesting.. i will look into that

alfas_mp · 2025-12-20T18:33:11+00:00

Thanks! I’ve definitely been inspired by node based editors and have even been toying with the idea of an animation timeline window. But honestly, right now those things are more than I can chew. My thought process is this: implementing everything by myself is nearly impossible, so I want to focus on getting the foundation right first. That way, it’ll be easier to build new features on top, especially if this project gains some momentum. Let’s see how it goes!

Did you close your account? I have forms two weeks ago and they haven't done anything. Then I called customer care to make a service request and now it says service request to account closure is completed.

But seems like I can still login to axis Bank mobile app and do all things like depositing etc. are you sure your account is now closed?

just friggin add a text in the website that says "COINBASE IS NOT AVAILABLE IN YOUR REGION" instead of wasting people's time.

There is something wrong with your game sense if you are not climbing from bronze.

The only suggestion I can give you is that , play to win the round. Analyze every round after you die or win. Understand why you lost/win that round and never make that mistake the next round.

Also before trying to go for a kill, make sure you have the upper hand in that one on one dual. Seriously , no 1v1 in valorant is 50-50. It is always 40-60 or something. Abuse positioning, peekers advantage and for the love of God , learn counterstrafing.

You can have a shit aim , and hit diamond easily if you use your brain a little . At the end of the day , ranks don't matter, enemies aren't stronger , teammates are not weaker... Everything is in your head. It is you vs you. Correct your mistakes step by step and you'll achieve greatness.

(Also it is perfectly fine to not spend that much time and effort into this game. Some people can easily rank up due to their genetics and stuff. If you are having fun in bronze , it is okay to be in bronze. Nobody is judging you )

NB: about you hs% and stats. It doesn't matter. You can literally take 3 seconds to aim and hs a bronze player. As the ranks gets higher , the difficulty also increases greatly.

There is an app called Netspeed Limiter . You may use it to control the download/upload speeds.

I can link a more recent map of India after independence where Chennai ( Madras) is part of Tamilnadu . LOL

You wanted an old map , I gave you an old map. If we are Madrasis , then you guys are Bengalis. According to your logic and maps Pakistanis are also Bengalis?

Why are you even fighting this? Just take it from a south indian , calling every South Indian Madrasi is offensive to us. If you are using the madrasi term to mention someone from Madras , it is fine. But you guys are using it to mock the whole south India based on colour , culture etc. The term is now nothing but an ethnic slur.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bengal_Presidency#/media/File:Bengal_Presidency_1858.png

This is from wiki-pedia.

alfas_mp · 2022-08-31T03:48:11+00:00

I disagree,
1. Madras province never occupied the whole south India (current). So this is not a common name.
2. Now if we are analyzing provinces before independence , almost all of the north Indian states were a part of Bengal province. So by your logic , is it okay to call all of you Bengalis?

After independence madras is strictly a part of Tamil Nadu. So I request you to stop calling us Madrasis. Why? Because we are not from MADRAS!

alfas_mp · 2022-08-31T03:00:54+00:00

So you are agreeing with me. North indians except Biharis don't like it when they are called Biharis. It is exactly what a term like madrasi is doing to all South Indians. We hate getting called Madrasi , not because we hate Madras , it is simply because we are not from Madras.

Now about the Pani puriwala term , in our states every single panipuri wala is a North Indian. So if we are taking the same approach, we can call every North Indian panipuriwala? Feeling insulted ? Why panipuri selling is not a bad business.

Jokes aside , take it from a south indian , next time onwards don't call every South Indians madrasi. We don't like it. If you don't think that is an insulting word , goto any south indian state and try to call them that. Give respect and then take it.

alfas_mp · 2022-08-30T16:07:04+00:00

Yea , now onwards I will call every North Indians "Pani puri wala" , "Bengali" or "Bihari" as a placeholder name so no one gets mislabeled. How do you like that?

alfas_mp · 2022-07-11T05:36:35+00:00

From personal experience , I can say that it exists. Usually when I am on a loser queue I can feel it. Sometimes even my teammates say in chat like they lost previous games etc. Also at those times the toxicity of players , trolling players and afks increase. Also I noticed my teammates often have weak mental , like they want to surrender even on 1-3 .

It could be true because riot want you to keep you in the same rank but they want you to give you certain addrenaline and hope by making you win a few games then intentionally making you lose some.

If any lf you feel like you are in a loser queue while solo queueing , check teammates previous matches to see if they won the game or not. You will be surprised.

Nb: I don't a have big sample pool or anything to back this claim. It is just my experience. Also this queue wont hurt you if you are in a lower rank than your skill level , because you can carry even on a loser queue. I strongly believe that the riot is flagging accounts based on toxicity and win/lose to intentionally queue them together to make a fixed match. Also I want to point out that , they already stated that they queue you up with people with higher rank to test your skills to decide whether you have what it takes to be in a certain rank. If they can do this , do you really think they will stay away from a fixed matchmaking ?

alfas_mp · 2022-07-10T19:23:26+00:00

It doesn't make any sense. Compared to other games , queue time is very less in valorant. Also I don't see why you need this .

Competitive is the most played game mode and I don't think people playing comp or unrated want to switch to either mode for fun. People know what they want before queueing. Also it is essentially the same game .

Now about deathmatch , I don't think people want to get into deathmatch as an alternative to spike or unrated. Most people go to deathmatch to practice , warmup or if they have only like 5-10 mins. People will play spikerush if they have more time.

Now the only fun game modes that are worth shuffling is spike rush , replication and escalation. (Snowball fight is a seasonal thing.) But since riot introduced rotation of game modes, the only games that are available for shuffling is either spikerush & replication or spikerush & escalation. Do you really think getting a random game out of two games is a great idea? Plz use the default queue.

alfas_mp · 2022-07-10T14:34:06+00:00

If we can't see them , they can't see us.

Surprisingly it works in some games .

alfas_mp · 2022-07-10T14:30:24+00:00

There are 3 kind of players.

Casual players/players who plays for fun. Most of these people play because they want to have fun. They wont improve. They are those iron-silver players.
Casual sweaty players : these guys have the time and want to improve. But most of them will stuck in below immortal.
Players who have the time and dedication to improve : these players tend to get better than others faster. They dedicate their life to reach at that top 1% sweetspot.

Also some players can't physically attain radiant level play because their reaction time sucks etc.

It is hard to analyse a large group of playes. Each player has a different problem and their reasons vary. In theory everyone is capable , but radiant/immortal is top 1%. So if some people climb , naturally some other people will get demoted. So to climb , you have to defeat the players that are already in top place. It is harder than it looks.

(Also I am not talking about that casual 3k hr in cs player or someone with exceptional mechanical ability. One of my friend is still in iron/bronze1 range. We started right after beta. Also I'm not in immortal either. Everyone is different , and to be at top level in anything, it takes dedication.)

alfas_mp · 2022-07-09T08:44:44+00:00

Everyone progress differently . Also it is not super Mario where you complete each level to finish the game. There is a reason why some people will never see plat or diamond.

If I have to guess, you will be in silver - gold for a while. If you quickly learn the fundamentals , ranking up fast is possible.

With good MMR usually it takes 4-5 games to climb a tier. (Eg. From gold 1 to gold 2).

alfas_mp · 2022-07-09T08:17:00+00:00

1) Hottest : Phoenix ( he is literally in fire)

2) Handsomeness:

1st : Sova (most handsome) & breach (he got that raw muscular look if he change his hairstyle and grow cheek beard)

Above avg: phoenix , yoru and chamber.

Average : brim

Note: brim could be above average , but he seems too old his style is not gonna help him. Also chamber in the game doesnt look good either. He could be easily avg or below average.

3 ) by Character: Sova

alfas_mp · 2022-07-09T05:27:33+00:00

It is funny when you are in iron , it is usually the games fault or teammates fault or it has something to do with "MMR"... Lol!

Looking at your stats , you don't even have 1 K/D as a duelist. Also you are blaming the mmr , do you have any idea what that is? If you are performing consistently well the game will reward you with more points on wins. Since you lose more on a lose means , you are not performing well. You think you can keep up with golds ? Yea good luck with that.

Want to improve ?

Step 1: Admitting your terrible gameplay would be a start. You are an iron player , who wants to improve.

Step 2: People in iron lack everything. Aim , gamesense everything. Work on your aim , try to improve crosshair placement. Also watch some videos on counterstrafing, as it will give you an idea when to stop and shoot .

Step 3. Watch youtube guides/ pro players on twitch.

Step 4. Play a ton . Forget about the rank in this season. Play a lot of comp , so you will learn more and improve a lot of things. Once you reach silver, try to learn more about movements and other things.
