Coding Adventure: Ant and Slime Simulations

[@guiorgy]

So true, there's this one siple thing that I check once in a blue moon, but last time I decided to automate it. And for some reason, the naive me then thought it would be cool to use C as it should have resulted in a fast and native code (as I wanted it to run at startup, I wanted it to be as light as possible). A week later, I got it working, but at what cost...

I was genuinely mesmerised by those slime shaders, it’s incredible how complex, beautiful patterns can be made from seemingly simple rules. Emergence really is a universal phenomenon

simple rules but a LOT of processing power

[@TheAechBomb]

@@jupahe6448 surprisingly not, it's just a couple images and some math. sure it can be a lot with a million or so agents, but it's all quite simple at that level

[@NStripleseven]

@@TheAechBomb Many iterations or instances of the object running those rules are needed, though.

[@CrashingThunder]

The beautiful thing about emergence is that it can build upon itself as well, resulting in all these layers of emergent phenomena building off of each other, increasing complexity along the way. Atoms interacted with atoms with simple rules, resulting in molecules. Molecules interacted with molecules, resulting in chemistry. Chemistry taking place in different environments with different external stimuli and repeating patterns likely gave rise to organic life through abiogenesis. Life interacting with the environment and the simple rules of evolution resulted in more complex life. And so on. One could also consider civilization as an emergent phenomena of humans interacting with other humans. All of this makes me wonder what the next possible "layers" are or could be.

This might just be the coolest thing I have seen so far on KZbin.

[@motox296]

I'm a graduate student in Industrial Engineering that focuses on advanced optimization. You did such a good job with the heuristic! Its super cool to see such a great visualization for the algorithm.

[@Vaaaaadim]

15:59 "So these have been pretty interesting looking I think" Biggest understatement I've heard in a good bit.

[@svee6904]

You deserve so so so so so so so much more exposure and credit for these absolutely mesmerising adventures that you take people like me - people who simply can't fathom doing this sort of stuff ourselves. Watching your videos gives makes me feel like what I imagined I would feel if I ever first set foot into the vast expanse of space! Please never stop what you're doing!

[@roeldeden]

This gives me goosebumps, Its amazing to see how just simple rules give rise to so much complexity apparently on every resolution we look. More please :)

[@tonyg_nerd]

Fellow developer here, mouth hanging open. Wow. Beautiful. Insightful. Well done. Thanks.

[@chrispinchot1566]

Your work is so inspiring. Thank you for continuing to explore and share.

[@NetherFX]

Those slime shaders are truly mesmerizing, I could get entertained by that for hours.

[@scign]

I was so engrossed in this I missed a meeting. Thanks for saving me from that meeting!

[@blaz2892]

Wildly subtle ATLA reference at the beginning of the video. Respect.

[@dottedboxguy]

wow. the part from 15:09 to the end is truly beautiful, it kinda looks like neural networks or things like that

[@elelbaker4899]

I haven’t watched KZbin videos with such amazing sound design in a while. Great work Sebastian!

[@itdaos]

You really inspire a lot of programmers. Keep it going, we all love to watch the results of your research.

[@maximusboscus]

For me this was the most impressive KZbin video I ever saw up to date. It feels like you decoded nature.

[@puzzlebeast783]

A thousand years in the future, humans living in simulations will look at this guy like we look at Da Vinci today.

[@rishabhshah8754]

bold to assume *he* didn't make the first simulation

[@Maggiethegsd]

This series is one of the most highly produced I've ever seen, this is awesome!! Can you make a flight simulation next?

[@simeondermaats]

If you mean aircraft flight, he already half did that in the episode on clouds

[@astral6749]

This looks more of an art than a banana stuck on a wall.

[@NedJeffery]

Literally anything is more of an art than that. I have a feeling that was the point.

[@Adowrath]

I cannot say how often I've come back to this video. It might (in my eyes) be your best. The (audio-)visual spectacle you treat us to in the end is simply grandiose. Thank you.

[@alexw8496]

Me: Stares at the slimes mesmerized with my mouth open, thinking about the beauty of the universe and the magic, that programming can be. Sebastian: "That looks kinda cool"

[@TK-sr2hz]

Lmao same bro

[@dustinsmith8341]

12:40 New Title: Sebastian recreates windows 98 screen savers

[@KimHarderFog]

Holy shit, that 2560x1440 simulation is pure art!

[@MooseBoys42]

This stuff is so cool. I just discovered your channel, and it's like looking in a mirror to my thoughts about what I'd do all day if I didn't have to work.

[@spencereaston8292]

Understatement of the day: "Let's see how this evolves over time"

[@AlexBlackfrost]

Next video's title will be "Coding Adventure: I simulate you". Great work, the results are beautiful 👀

[@mantacreep9954]

The thing with the slimes is probably one of the most calming things i ever saw.

[@Fish_315]

this guy sounds like he is always smiling and it seems like its contagious

[@keyyyla]

These are probably the best simulations I've ever seen here on youtube. I've just began programming in dart and python and this motivates me to keep on getting better.
