At that huge scale and tiny speed the structural material being compressed would prevent any useful power transfer. It seems like there are lots of ideas like this from engineers who partially understand other disciplines, a little nugget o

Modeling programs make art, CAD is for engineering. They’re very different.

Every loop, prev_frame_tick is assigned the old value of curr_frame_tick before curr_frame_tick is updated. That means the value of their difference is the time in ticks it took for the last loop to execute. That difference is used to scale

Not to mention that the game itself is a masterpiece.

I see where you’re coming from but your personal involvement shouldn’t be how you validate what is and is not news. Imagine this headline 15 years ago.

Ha! Try that scenario again with cheap or no insurance. That’s the reality for many

It’s like that big brand clothing store that tried getting rid of the persistent 60%-off “sales” in favor of just showing the real prices.

It seems much easier to use a machine which doesn’t need pods and just has a hopper of beans

Yes! I dump the grounds in a clean filter before bed. In the morning my machine turns on and heats up, when I’m ready I hit the button. It brews and I toss the now dirty filter into a tupperwear beside the machine. A few days later when I’m

It’s the same as premature optimization

It reminds me a little too much of my family’s cattle ranch. No thanks!

I personally just spent the whole weekend with it. Not bad for $10 on steam!

What? Stop and go exits because cars brake faster than they accelerate and humans have non-zero reaction time. The average velocity tends to zero until the number of cars on the road is few enough that those factors are less meaningful than

The madness isn’t the reaction by property owners, it’s the customers making it an issue.

Not everyone has thousands of dollars sitting around to “rent” new apple hardware. Fine, if that’s your solution. I’ll stick to buying hardware that works.

The holes were for (to paraphrase) “allowing sand to fall out of the wheels”. Very sneaky :)

It's probably because 99.5% of the population relies on money to live in a house and to buy food. PS: Why Do You Type Like This? It's Very Hard To Read.

Also consider the relative availability of battery chemicals vs steel and concrete. We already have the infrastructure set up to efficiently produce huge quantities of those building materials.

If you literally mean "library", then any rendering library will do just fine after you build the animation system. If you're looking for a program then After Effects or Flash (now Adobe Animate) are two options. The features

A microwave radio setup to the nearest populated area gave my rural-living parents modern internet a few years ago. It’s not the same scale but the same idea! It’s far and away better than satellite.

Googled it and they are not interchangeable. +1 for learning something

Well, now I’m afraid. Club, bow, cannon, rifle, nuke, and now c4 face targeting done.

It’s the same thing as telling artists to work for exposure or telling teachers to work for the love of seeing students learn.

Ah. I was thinking linear inertia and you were describing rotational.

Can you further explain your “interial engine”? My understanding of physics says that it would only be able to actuate once then slowly “reset”, ruining the illusion if you’re moving in any steady state mannor
