Play the game! thecodingtrain.com/pi2022 (Comment with your high score!)

[@YoyellDCube]

Hey dan can u help me in the slide puzzle when i try to activate the simpleShuffle(board) it says floor is not defined

[@caenir]

Gotta say that it's practically impossible to tell how many slices a pie has on desktop. Maybe if the colours were consistent among the different slice quantities, it'd be a lot easier. Can't get past 3.1

[@ToufouMaster]

pls make RayMarching Coding Challenge Good video again

[@redpug5042]

3.1 is as far as i can get. It's really hard to do it. It runs so fast.

[@TheCodingTrain]

@@caenir yes, this is good feedback! The game isn't as playable as I had hoped! But maybe we can improve it over time!

[@coolbrotherf127]

Since I started watching these videos, I started with the simple stuff like this now I've been able to make any number of my own projects. I guess it's not too complex, but knowing I could code this from scratch without any instructions makes me realize how far I've come.

[@Jova]

Yeah, being able to make simple-intermediate things from scratch without any instructions is a good way to know that you've become adept at a programming language.

[@theman7050]

Plz share your work

[@pascal12355]

I have 7+ years of programming, including mobile, web and game development, but man when is a new video out I watch it like is my first day of school!

[@max-yasgur]

Thank you for making the length of the video 31:41

[@Atrulion]

I love your content, and I owe you so much respect. I started programming (at least programming seriously) for half a year ago. I am currently 16, and your videos has inspired me so much you have no idea. I have constantly been trying to recreate your ideas, like snake, fractal trees, tic tac toe, and also raycasting. This has given me a huge boost in the start, and now I love programming, and it is one of my biggest hobbies. I seriously can't thank you enough, you have helped me so much.

[@TheCodingTrain]

Than you for sharing your story!

[@pvic6959]

I _KNEW_ there would be a Coding challenge today!! im so excited!

[@htdetonator1847]

I have watched like 2 of your videos in the past, but I have been watching a ton more because I’m taking a programming class at my high school, and I’m really enjoying watching these learning more things every video. :)

[@AdamSchelenbergCom]

I am just amazed of how entertaining and educational these videos are. Thank you Daniel.

[@YoyellDCube]

Love ur content dan keep up the good work and u r an amazing person to watch , have fun and learn code from

[@shmupful]

Man, I just love you enthusiasm, it is contagious!

[@ShaneDavisDFTBA]

I was so happy when I managed to spot the second missed “this.” and sat here grinning while waiting for the song.

[@TheCodingTrain]

I love this comment!

[@ShaneDavisDFTBA]

@@TheCodingTrain I think you mean you love this.comment 😝

[@drinkingcat3065]

Dude ive been watching you since 200k subs, i love your videos.

[@adershvarshnei5198]

These coding challenges always feel wonderfully cozy to watch

[@CodingAdventures]

Your new formula to prepare this videos is quite interesting: live streaming on Twitch and videos on KZbin! Thanks for this nice video!

[@geoffwagner4935]

That is pretty amazing, writing the processing book in the 2000's..... I was still pretty much a kid I think 13 and just enough to get Millennium installed and get excited about the "restore" feature, that just became more and more evident, it really needed it. it wasn't so much a new feature, as was closer to an essential component like, a spark lug for an engine, or 8 spark plugs if you had a v8.

[@alistaw1866]

I can't get enough of your videos, you're just amazing sir!

[@LordHonkInc]

Happy Pi Day! Thank you as usual for these great videos, and regardless if it's large projects or just a "simple" but beautiful visualization of some mathematical idea (the bezier curve video is, at least for me, the most understandable definition I've seen for how they work), I always love watching and coding along :) By the way (and this isn't meant as anything more than a passing bit of trivia), this project reminds me very much of one in the first book I've ever read on C++ (except it was more of a "space ship shooting oncoming asteroids" game, but conceptually it tried to teach similar lessons, y'know, classes for the objects on screen, how to implement a main loop, stuff like that). It's called "C++ für Spieleprogrammierer" by Heiko Kalista. Yeah, it's in german and I'd say pretty outdated by today's standards (heck, anybody here remember "Simple DirectMedia Layer"? xD), but thought I should still source it. God, I was so confused back then, didn't even understand what a singleton was back then.

[@jonatanlaksamana462]

Remember back in 2017 when i first watch his channel im still trying learning oop backthen, but your videos never fail impress me untill this day.

[@aeschynanthus_sp]

Pi may be the only number you can eat but "kuusi" is the only number in Finnish you decorate at Christmas. ("Kuusi" is actually two words, one meaning 'six' and the other 'spruce', which is what is used for the Christmas tree in Finland. I say "two words" because they are inflected differently.)

[@henry4240]

How crazy is it that the video is 31 minutes and 41 seconds long. Lovely pi day

[@RNeilen216]

I already know a good amount of oop, but I thought this was bar far one of you best explaination with oop. Excellent job!!!

[@TheCodingTrain]

I'm so glad to hear!

[@Otakutaru]

Really concise explanations, 10/10 programming video

[@khalidsakka8020]

this video shows why i love this channel

[@thounilo]

this dot is great example of why using composition over inheritance is better in vanilla js

[@astropgn]

The best "pi video" I've seen so far! Great =D

[@ThatOneAgarAgarioThePro]

Dan is on a grind much love from the train of coding

[@sTale0]

Just joined the train. Loved the previous videos.

[@terraflops]

the live stream to the final version, great stuff

[@Troy-ol5fk]

Maybe slice the whole canvas vertically into many strips, and place each pie in a random strip(like a running track), so they don't overlap each other

[@VeloRV]

this was beautiful! lmao i loved it

[@_abdul]

I'm really Happi to get a Coding Challenge video today.

[@CannonBallEddie]

I am still going through your processing videos, I bought 3 books by you. Noticed that processing seems to be on the back burner for you. I would like to see a series on sound please, pretty please. Also wish you was around when I was a kid, maths might have been enjoyable rather than something I'd skip.... Appreciate the free videos, your time and the knowledge you share.

[@scorusadrian6850]

What kind of "baking powder" you used for those pies?. Can't stop laughing. Great videos, man!

[@ensabinha]

I love your videos. One thing that could be cool is to consider time in the movement of objects instead of only relying on the FPS.

[@leonardodelima2424]

I've been watching your videos for a few months now (very nice, by the way! I love your content), but only now I learned that your name is Daniel and not Coding Train Guy. I don't know if I just don't pay attention or you never intruduced yourself in your vídeos.... Anyway, nice to meet you, Daniel.

[@gabrielmalek7575]

You're the MVP man :)

[@paepaenuanphan8512]

It’s so inspiring for a beginner like me ;) 🥰 love it!

[@TheFinagle]

I would use a check when spawning the pie to see if the needed number is in any of the existing pies and if its not then thats the number you spawn.

[@thehappycoder3760]

Brilliant love it

[@martinvivian9772]

I think the game should check if the digit the player needs is on the screen, and put it in if it's not, so you dont have to wait for the rng to give you the right digit. It can be random if the digit the player needs is there.

[@TheCodingTrain]

Great suggestion!

[@erichlof]

Alt game title: "Catcher in the Pi" - or is that too highbrow? Lol, thanks for another great video!

[@xSungamerx]

The game you have at around 19 minutes could be a perfect cell number input program for r/badUIbattles

[@arhamirfan]

I love your videos!

[@ravpanda037]

I love the pi day videos

[@whip8]

The song at the beginning is the real accomplishment here

[@sarvagya5817]

169th Coding Challenge ! Nice!

[@vasevase2323]

My fav channel

[@hussainsalih3520]

keep going my teacher , thanks for all :)

[@NiscMC]

Yay new coding challenge

[@Fiercesoulking]

My birthday is always so fun not that being born on the same day as Einstein alone is fun.

[@dainou0001]

Could you not add a random number between 0 and 2pi to the "a" variable for the random rotation in the arc function?

[@FrostDrive]

Hahahaha I laughed so hard at the train waving ending xD

[@kishrajsrk]

excellent...

[@servv3167]

Thank you Sir

[@antoningranados3491]

Hello, have you tried the Fibonacci sequence in the Ulam spiral ? 😄

[@sqtapnic]

Awesome

[@Visual-Synthesizer]

Thank you so much. Your videos are great for me, the time you take on visuals is super helpful . I’m kinda retarded dyslexia. Now i program my own AI art assistants , blockchain code and can read most code patterns!

[@geoffwagner4935]

*wonders are we getting a new pi day stream tomorrow* wow...... it's like a time lapse , what a shocking and crazy photo of Shiffman , i may actually need the computer with Golom Levin to interpolate the resemblance. Pasty pale skin. no beard. If those chompers took a bite of a pie, it's probably no mistaking who did it. Just watched "Bloorayne" the other night, trying to find a book i read a quarter pretty sure game is based on, and trying to find, was sure it might be it. Was actually really good, but wow, this Shiffman could ran right out of it.

[@molvenma1446]

Oh… It's very spicy in Russian. Big "PI" & "SKY" read together like Russian word for "рussу" (but it is also genderless).

[@franchello1105]

Reminds me of this game where babies were falling out of a burning building that you had to rescue.

[@franchello1105]

Bouncing Babies

[@toastyPredicament]

It was perfect.

[@bububirb]

this. 😝 Happy Pi day!

[@thedarkknightclipss]

My favourite KZbinr😘😘

[@carlclayton2190]

I think it would be good if you get the correct number, it displays at the bottom, but if you get an incorrect number, rather than game over, it will remove the previous number you got, so you have to get it again. This way, over time you will learn the number PI, as it will become engrained. Maybe a time limit, so the goal is to see how big a string you can make. That then could become a high score to try to beat

[@morgengabe1]

you can also eat 8008135 and 455. probably some great meals in hexadecimal, and beyond, too!

[@MrCalifornium]

Thank you for the great content as always. Please, plesae have a look at the magic code wheel by Mathlogger. He poses a programming challenge to create an infinite circular slide rule. On the surface is rather trivial as in its essence all you need are two circles with log scales, but the infinite zoom... I don't even know where to begin

[@RajJaiswal538]

Pi day was yesterday according to our timezone But even a day late,it can't be Pi day without you!

[@sc6the]

Coding Quest would be a cool name

[@danieldouglas210]

If this guy was my teacher at school I would never have dropped computer science.

[@toastyPredicament]

Smart pacemaker

[@ryanbucinell7301]

I just appreciate that in the suggestions page yt said the video length was 31:41

[@walnutsandbeastiality866]

,,Butterfly in the sky I can go twice as high Take a look It's in a book A reading rainbow" 🎶

[@gergonagy846]

Even the length of the video is 31 41... WOW!

[@tysoe27]

"6...6...8...9...4...9" *Camera shakes aggressively" "THAT'S NOT PI!!!!!1!!!1!" 🤣🤣🤣

[@toastyPredicament]

Thank you for making thid

[@AknKocoval]

Hello, I have a question. Actually, I want to learn the web programming. That means I need to learn HTML, CSS and JavaScript. But what about processing? Is it going to help me because I have your two books, but don't know how to start. 😩

[@cillian_scott]

Do programmers not use vim or similar binds? This mouse work seems extremely tedious.

[@ariseyhun2085]

I feel like you should've highlighted the correct pie to catch, maybe in green or some other color to make it a little easier

[@TheCodingTrain]

Indeed, the game is too hard!

[@TheMrWiktor]

What is funny, in my languege "pies" means a dog :p nice video

[@psrs985]

Even my 4 year-old cousin loves this

[@Tom-vr5yv]

What theme do you use?

[@amarmerabti8338]

The video's time is also the first digits of PI, and i dont think it's a coincidence

[@TheCodingTrain]

Good catch!

[@thealexconnor9988]

woah, even made the video be 31 minutes 41 seconds (from thumbnail)

[@kevnar]

...and the length of the video is 31:41. Clever.

[@TheCodingTrain]

Glad someone noticed!!

[@KeygaLP]

Ah, yes the this dot song!

[@whitk034]

Oooh, interesting! I was imagining in my head a full pie that had x amount of slices. So rather than having x amount of 1/9 slices, each slice would be 1/x of the pi!

[@toastyPredicament]

Hi can you run (brb saving model) a C program on your phone.

Лол, отличное превью!

[@anusha8085]

Oh Dan, you're such a rainbow

[@therayvenn3482]

Happy pi day!!!

[@TrollingAround]

@9:09 "and now I have 2 pies" - no, you have "tau".

[@TankorSmash]

These are great, but the audio effect for errors (bzzzt!) are a little offputting! They're all in good fun but it makes the audio a little less pleasant

[@TheCodingTrain]

Thanks for the feedback! Just that one sound effect or others too?

[@LuizFeReis]

❤️

[@marcosrogerio_oficial]

I have a serious doubt about how I can use the calculations from the Physics subject and transform them into codes for the creation of games. 😥😥😥

[@ajthemagi2913]

And the video is 31 minutes and 40 seconds! META PI

[@TheCodingTrain]

41! It's 41! KZbin glitch!

[@djsyntic]

Your little pi day song says that pi is the only number we can eat, but we all know that 7 disagrees and claims that 9 is very delicious. (Yes this is a 7 8 9 joke.)
