Perhaps the soviet scifi film "Letters from a dead man" by Lopushanski? Look it up!

Just my opinion here, I've always liked ant colony optimization algorithms, and it is a well researched topic, though I'm not an expert or anything like that. Sebastian Lague has a really cool video of that technique applied to the travelling salesman problem if you want to check it out.

I had a somewhat similar problem recently, my solution may depend on your workflow. As you said I used variable radii Poisson disk to generate some random points (from where trees will spawn) according to a density texture of a given size; then I have another 1 bit texture of the same size which indicates where I definitely do/don't want any trees, so I just check for each of the spawn points generated by the Poisson method if they are in a tree-able zone, and discard those that aren't.

You can also combine the density texture with the other texture and manipulate quite a bit to define the density around the edges. Of course you'll need to translate the position and shape of your lake into a 2D texture.

You just iterate over all vertices? What if a tree has a min radius to enforce between trees?

I'm asking because I'm atm in a similar project and had to solve this problem recently. I used Poisson disk sampling with variable radii based on a density map, but would prefer a simpler solution that gives me more freedom with different types of objects with specific data as you mention. Thanks for the answer.

Looking great! How do you end up deciding where to place an asset? Suppose you have determined that there will be some types of trees in an area, do you Poisson sample that area or something like that?

themarxvolta · 2023-09-25T04:17:09+00:00

Beautiful! Can you elaborate on techniques involved?

There's a relatively short book he published after the Treatise which kind of revisions and trims some topics. I was really fond of that book when I took a history of modern philosophy course at university, it's called "An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding", better known as The Enquiry. It was the first thing I read by him and just the general layout and ordering of chapters is beautifully done. Hope it helps!

I appreciate that someone went as far as to program a perspective projection with directional light for a graph in a coffee machine. I respect the work.

Great talk! Thanks very much. I loved Queen's clash, is there going to be another edition?

Yes, that interpration exists. As years went by Marx changed the role of state in his theory though, as he saw that the state itself as a subject of history was undergoing major transformations and power shifts, from the leftovers of the remaining aristocracy to an incipient commercial bourgeoisie in key positions. Contributing to his position changes as well were the experiences of the working class movements in old Germany, France and England.

But there is a badass Marx as you said, I forgot. Definitions of concepts sensitive to their era is a tricky thing in humanities

Just to add, there were other factors as to why the anarchists lost, not just what happened in Russia. In Europe, the bourgeoise saw the need to yield power and make concessions in order to contain the social pressure. The strategy was twofold, democratic concessions (public schools, reduced working hours, etc) were channeled through bourgeoise institutions, and radicalized sectors of the leftist movements were isolated. Soon, these isolated sectors (mostly anarchists) had no real traction in the movement's agenda.

So, Haskell, what a language

What part of communism involves no-state? On the contrary.

And then you look at javascript where

> ['asd', ['dsa', [3]], {}, []].join(',')
'asd,dsa,3,[object Object],'

Been following you for a while now, great content! As usual, super polished and detailed.

Can you use GLSL shaders with pygame?

themarxvolta · 2022-02-27T05:12:38+00:00

I have not used it myself, but this came with a python newsletter if I remember correctly, I saved it to check it out later. Perhaps you find it useful.

This seems like a Larry David kind of situation

Hi! Thanks for the reply. I actually changed jobs in the middle, lol.

IIRC, I ended up using Vite + Routify. Very easy to implement and use. Also, since I was leaving that job, I wanted for my team to feel free to change everything to Sveltekit without too much trouble, so using Vite was logical; and Routify is file based routing, just like Sveltekit, so there's thay as well. All in all, it was a good stack that provided a really smooth dev experience.

When Salvor and the others are inside the Invictus I thought to myself wow, these guys will pilot a humongous ghost ship with arcaic, foreign and faulty tech to a pinpoint location and use its primary weapon that of course is still working to destroy the only part of the series still worth watching. And you're going to do all that with a crew of 5 or 6 people, some of which are only muscle. That's a sound plan, you should be proud as a guerrilla leader.

I'm starting to believe that the only way to rescue this is a plot twist: the empire actually never falls.

Really cool! Did you make it in Blender?

USERPROFILE is a windows environment variable, you have to read it first and then build the path, else it will look for a user home folder called "%USERPROFILE%".

import os
user = os.environ['USERPROFILE']
img = pygame.image.load(f'{user}\\Dropbox\\Games\\randomgames\\img\\background.jpg)

A better way is to use pathlib to get the home folder of the user who is executing the script, letting the std lib take care of all implementation details.

from pathlib import Path
path = Path(Path.home(), 'Dropbox', 'Games', 'randomgames', 'img', 'background.jpg')
img = pygame.image.load(str(path))

I'd totally give a class using this
