@TechPriestOrion @GoldsmithsUoL But if you think there's a good overlap with some of these criteria, please feel free to apply! And even if it doesn't work at this round, you'd never know what opportunities may arise in the future! 😎

[Alan Zucconi @AlanZucconi]

@TechPriestOrion @GoldsmithsUoL Ideally it would be great to have a single applicant who can do everything! 😅 But I believe we could also offer fractions of the contract to different people, if the right opportunity arises!

@SandboxSpirit This was such an interesting read! 🤩 I'd love to see some pseudocode as well in the following posts, or even how you are generating the shapes procedurally! 🤩

[Alan Zucconi @AlanZucconi]

@redblobgames @codewithchit We need answers. 👀

[Alan Zucconi @AlanZucconi]

I'm officially obsessed with this! 🤩

[Ef 📐 @SandboxSpirit]

I am working on a Cities Skylines 2 style road system in Unity where intersections are created dynamically without nodes.

THIS IS THE GAME I'VE BEEN WAITING 13 YEARS FOR! 😎

[Peter Cardwell-Gardner @thefuntastic]

Cadence is out now!

Make music by solving circuits. It took 13 years to figure how to do this well!

Beyond the puzzles:
🐈‍⬛ Pet Ren, the cat!
📜 Enjoy Ren's life philosophy (all text is skippable)
🎹 Use the sandbox to make music
🧮 Or explore turing complete contraptions

@LyonsMatthew When can we play this? 🥲

[Alan Zucconi @AlanZucconi]

@jackrusher @LingdongH Is this still available? I think a couple of the links are broken!

[Alan Zucconi @AlanZucconi]

I *love* making games.
I *hate* selling them.

[Alan Zucconi @AlanZucconi]

With so many photo editing tools powered by Generative AI, I think is worth remembering some of the most powerful techniques that do NOT rely on Deep Learning. 🧮

🧵 Let's see how SEAM CARVING works and how we can make it in @unity! 👇

Chinese scientists have developed,

The best shortest-path algorithm in 41 years!

A team from Tsinghua University has broken Dijkstra's "sorting barrier" - the first improvement since 1984.

Just use for a world-map 🤯
