Todo: implement Lifshitz-Slyozov-Wagner (L-S-W) | theory of particle coarsening for soap bubbles (avg size | increases with cube of time) ;) | theturtletalks wrote: | Thought this was using three.js, but they built their own physics | engine: https://github.com/saharan/OimoPhysics | astroalex wrote: | I absolutely love this and am curious about the technical details | behind simulating soap bubbles like this (it looks like the code | isn't available). Does anyone know what algorithm is being used? | adamredwoods wrote: | Looks like a little bit of Voronoi patterns when the bubbles | connect? | | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voronoi_diagram | jaime10 wrote: | I was surprised by all the projects on the website. This isn't | even the coolest one | shever73 wrote: | Strongly recommend experimenting with this after a bottle of | Malbec! | anyfoo wrote: | Voronoi Cells just fascinate me for some weird reason. | dmix wrote: | I spent wayyy too much time playing with this, just trying to | understand all the dynamics. What makes the bubbles burst, or | merge, or collapse, or partially burst and partially expand a | connected bubble. | | The impact of the various directions of the fan or pin. | | So much variation in such a simple seeming base. | 3pt14159 wrote: | (dmix man long time no see! Let's hang out soon!) | | I agree that this is a true work of art. The variation and | attention to detail is delightful. I hope more people put | together and share stuff like this on HN. | camdenlock wrote: | Make sure to check out the rest of his site. Amazing. Pay careful | attention to the recursive box on the "works" page. | kevdoran wrote: | anyone else make a giant scary bubble to take over the page | reidjs wrote: | There are a bunch of other equally cool physics simulations/games | on that website, well done | pigtailgirl wrote: | -- fun - also - love authors twitter avatar is dandelion - | https://twitter.com/shr_pc - feel like they are in tune with the | poetry of physics -- | Kiro wrote: | > competitive programmings, mainly marathon-styled ones | | What kind of competitions is this referring to? | pigtailgirl wrote: | -- they talk a lot about hackathons in their tweets =) -- | | eg: https://atcoder.jp/contests/ahc016 | unsafecast wrote: | I watched it go for like a minute before realizing that I can | actually interact! I love this. | CheeseLovers wrote: | If the challenge was to get the pin inside a big cluster of | bubbles, then I succeeded. | ppjim wrote: | It seems to me a very interesting and entertaining mechanic that | could evolve into a game. | pigtailgirl wrote: | -- bubbles meets Tetris -- | alismayilov wrote: | Some bubbles take much more than expected time to pop up. But | eventually, they all pop up. | nine_k wrote: | It's a wonderful thing: a toy, not a game. | | A game has a goal. Here you are free to experiment without being | led or nudged. In the world of computer-based entertainment, it | is refreshing. | ThrowawayTestr wrote: | I love little toys like this. | acomjean wrote: | Remove the spike and the little fan bubbles glom onto on another. | Very cool. You can just wave the bubble wand around too... | | This is very fun. | SLWW wrote: | Nothing truer could have been spoken concerning this | masterpiece. | kibwen wrote: | Delightful toys like this are why I love the web. I'd never go | through the rigamarole of installing an app to play with this, | but I sure will click a link. | leetbulb wrote: | Elegant and surprisingly fun. | ebbflowgo wrote: ___________________________________________________________________ (page generated 2022-11-11 23:00 UTC)
