In my online undergraduate P5.js course, students are about to begin the module on motion and physics, including a bit of physics simulation using Matter.js.

But why shove it out left?

[anandphilipc@sigmoid.social]

@csk this is excellent!

@csk
@ahl made something similar a while back, but this fully interactive demo is great!

What an Oxide and Friends last night! @bcantrill and I were joined by the one and only @AndresFreundTec to talk about his discovery of the xz backdoor. It’s an incredible story… so great to get into the details with Andres. Definitely check it out (or on the pod tomorrow). https://youtu.be/jg5F9UupL6I

@csk What a lovely project idea

@csk i like how there seems to be no friction and despite what block you klick, after some duration everything crumbles, even if you do not move the cursor while klicking.

@csk @creideiki what it looks like after the "move fast and break things" folks have their way with it.

Hi @csk
#angry #xkcd.

@csk I've just spent entirely too much of my day destroying this tower and refreshing the page. Thank you, you win the internet for today!

@csk Register the mousemove handler on the window object, then you will get the events even when the mouse moves out of the window/frame while dragging.

@csk This needs to be made into an Angry Birds level.

[rolandog@todon.eu]

@Humus @csk hmm, maybe turn it into an awareness-building game (a la tower defense games) where you must fend-off hackers trying to topple the whole tower over and whack knowledge into capitalists'/politicians' heads that treat the ecosystem as a black-box; boss level: secure funding without caving into three-letter agencies pressuring the dev to sneak vulnerabilities.

@csk
Brilliant

@csk Sometimes I wonder if this isn't the right solution to the software problem.

[robinhouston@mathstodon.xyz]

@csk Ha! I saw this on HN earlier, and didn’t realise it was you. Very nice.

[t36s@social.ordinal.garden]

@csk Excellent work here.

[csk@mathstodon.xyz]

@robinhouston Yeah, it's really making the rounds! I must tip my hat to the people who came over to show their earlier demos of the same idea -- it really was hard to believe that nobody had thought to do this before.

[bredroll@mas.to]

@csk bravo!
