your a lifesaver, thanks!

Thank you! I'm working on my first from scratch world and this was a major issue

You are missing one very very crucial aspect of using lerp() the regular way, and that is the fact that it's intentionally NOT an animation that has a start and an end - but rather something that keeps happening all the time every frame. When does this matter? This matters if the target moving itself is moving even while the "animated" object is approaching it. For example if we want something to smoothly trail along our cursor with a delay! You can't achieve that with an animation, because this motion doesn't have a start, an end, or a "state". This is the kind of task that the regular application of lerp in motion is used for. Your "reimagining" of the lerp technique is simply addressing an entirely different situation, for which indeed animation curves are better. So please don't be under the impression that the "normal" way of using lerp is somehow wrong - it is a perfectly good and powerful technique for many situations which you just seem to have not acknowledged. A separate note on the "never reaching the end value" issue that you outline - while it's mathematically true, for all practical purposes it's false. At t=0.5, within 20 iterations/frames the value error will be less than one millionth of the distance, which at our current monitor resolutions is not even visible in pixels with anti-aliasing. So it's quite literally of no consequence.

No offense, but kinda a weird video? Even though it's pleasant to watch, it lacks substance. Huge respect for the quality editing and live-coding presentation, but the content is literally "let me create a pixelated radial gradient over 4 minutes of talking", while really radial gradient is a concept that isn't worth covering on its own... Also the idea of doing it with "big pixels" via rect()'s is kinda weird - why not just do it at maximum resolution using p5's loadPixels() functionality? Either way, "if you find something cool, let me know in the comments", so I'm gonna talk about an interesting thing you can use instead of a "radial gradient" - a 2D Gaussian. It's similar to a lerp'ed radial gradient in that it's a radially symmetric field that falls off towards the edge, but is different in that: a Gaussian is not spatially bound, so it approaches zero very quickly as it goes away from the center, but never mathematically reaches zero; a Gaussian is smooth everywhere, including at the center, meaning that it's landscape doesn't have a sharp peak but rather a smooth "bump"; a Gaussian is very straightforward to with a single formula, exp(x**2 + y**2). If you find the radial gradient interesting, I reckon you will find the 2D gaussian interesting as well!

Wow I never knew how right you were. Good job, you opened my eyes and so many others. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2rRfKarqceDntk

this video so good it got my right ear jealous

lol

Great video

really love the title of this :d i mean the subject you are talking about ,subscribed !

That is a terrible inefficient way to render voxels.

algorithm

This is really helpful advice. Thank you for helping all of us become better

each video you make adds so much value. thank you!

Very solid pixel animations and I love the palette!

This is awesome! the transition blew me away!

If I can make it I'm gona subscribe to u

bruh, im coding in Java, there is some things that Java doesn't have. How can I convert to Java?🤔

Boeing's doors are falling off, not because they are profit driven, but because they have abandoned the profit motive to impose "equity" and DEI agendas. Boeing rose to Number 1 in the world back when they were driven by profit.

Great video and great advice man. Made me catch myself trying to create perfection instead of just creating. Subbed for the content, commented for the algorithm. Keep it up!

Awesome video

I love your video . Thanks a lot .

Great job, thanks man! Love the title 🙂 Also confused that it has only 2,5k views, yet. I'm predicting it will be 50k+ in mid 2025

shh dont teach the masses

I love your use of sources and your pixel art style

You are a hero

Goddamn, this is underrated

Looks like you did what you said with your KZbin videos, BUT the quality is awesome

I was so surprised after i noticed that this video was made by such a small youtuber. This advice actually inspired me, great work!

Amazing quality!!! Kudos my guy!

I thought i was watching with 100k subs but you dont even 1k! Great work keep up the good workkk

Hey man, just randomly stumbled on your video. Its great keep it up!

Amazing video ❤

This is quite wise. I agree, we should all strive to learn from our mistakes. Great work unknown1050! 🎉🎉🎉😅

Sigma

Very Morata

this is sick man. underated

Awesome video style!

how did you produce the 3D hill? unity? I love the lofi style

I want to make a game since 2015, but i'm so noob i currently only do it with numerically (a set represent edge and another set represent the path) (and even this i had struggle to do it). It would be game where we move along the sides of polygons leaving a trace of a certain color, we can go back this will trace [[above/beside] / this will make another floor ] and when we have gone around the polygon respecting the rules*, this changes the color of the trace and saves it if it does not already exist. (*ex: no more than 2 round trips on the same segment/side)

cool, loved the pixel art

Someone had seen that Freya Holmer video too 😊

To anyone saying he’s strictly using it wrong, the original use case still has great utility for smooth exponential chasing, Freya holmer (queen of linear interpolation) has a whole talk about this and how to frame rate sync

"if you find something cool, i'd love to know down in the comments" I FOUND SOMETHING COOL Your channel :3

Clowny bros strikes again

need vid for the 3d thingy!!

Ah yes, always the correct way to learn. With Dora the explorer

just use Mathf.MoveTowards

this video seems more of an explaination to your misunderstanding of how lerp works because you closed the tutorial you were following as soon as the line of code at the beginning was written...you cant title a video stop using lerp wrong when youre the one using it wrong rather than the massively acceptable way

great video! But please don't use var in for loops. var initializers get hoisted up to the top of their scope, so if you use var in a for loop, you can't use the same variable name in another loop, For instance, this would give you a multiple definition error: function setup() { createCanvas(400, 400); } function draw() { background(220); for(var i = 0; i < 10; i++) { console.log(i); } for(var i = 0; i < 5; i++) { console.log(i * 2); } } the interpreter hoists "var i" to the top of the function, so the interpreter sees this: function setup() { createCanvas(400, 400); } function draw() { background(220); var i; var i; for(i = 0; i < 10; i++) { console.log(i); } for(i = 0; i < 5; i++) { console.log(i * 2); } } instead, it's best practice to use "let" (and this is true for every application, honestly). the "let" keyword doesn't get moved anywhere, so what you see is what you get, and you can use the same variable name multiple times in the same function.
