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.

@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!

[chuckmcmanis@chaos.social]

@csk So you're saying if you shove aside the random person in Nebraska the architecture simplifies itself to something with fewer layers?

[demofox@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@ChuckMcManis @csk that took some real cajones chuck haha!

[grwster@mastodon.social]

@csk Hah, just noticed that, if you click on the p5js link, it’s interactive! Awesome
