Yet another useless and entitled comment. A tool that is very clearly meant for personal use, and is even advertised as such, did not happen to be a well documented library easy for everyone else to use. What a surprise. To me this repo shouldn't be interpreted as anything more than just a sneak peek at what such a library could look like, and we're lucky he even bothered putting it out there after all the nagging. It's frankly embarrassing seeing it get flooded with entry-level questions expecting full guides on how to get started.
"In the end, I ended up coding" — this is what open source does to your brain, I guess.
- bitforger 7y agoHonestly, "useless and entitled" kind of hurt my feelings. The title says it's 3Blue1Brown's "animation engine." I'm just relaying my experience with the thing to let people know that working with it won't be all sunshine and roses, if they want to use it, and that it might be nice to put some effort into it if we really want it to be a community tool. I think we have similar opinions about what the tool is, and what it's not. I just must have not expressed myself in a very clear way. I did spend about two days hacking on this, just to get a basic POC working. But in the end, I couldn't figure out how to put right angle markers on my vectors. I also submitted an issue about vectors getting smaller when the norm was less than 1. I'm just saying, the title makes it seem like it's a general purpose tool, but it's not.
