Everything I can find points to an issue on some Netgear routers. At least some people say that disabling a specific router feature (stateful packet inspection firewall) would fix it, which seems like damning evidence. Presumably the router

I don't know about CSound, but Faust works well on microcontrollers, in fact that's one of its main use cases. Note that Faust focuses more on DSP, synthesis and effects, not so much on sequencing and higher-level music organizati

You mean AI might be better at setting or at reading? I feel like your question is getting misinterpreted.

Whenever this concept pops up I think of a classic CSound piece made by Jacob Joaquin in 1999. It's the first execution of the idea that I'm aware of. He gave the notes a slower envelope so they sometimes seem to merge into a sing

I would say Waterloo (1970) is very close to that never-made epic Napoleon film, though it only focuses on one event. The film employed an army of around 15000 extras and 2000 horses, remodeled the entire landscape required for the battle,

Say goodbye to the future! The one that IBM promised us 18 years ago in this advertisement: https://vimeo.com/29120357 In fact, that ad also shows how awkward the concept is (or maybe the fact that we're still not read

You are completely right, I never got around to implementing panning (or more advanced spatialization), which should be kind of a no-brainer for a project like this. The more I worked on it, the less I noticed this feature was missing! I&#x

Thanks for pointing that out. I've done color space conversion in other graphics applications but clearly haven't learned my lesson. I'll double check and update the interactive figures (and text) if it makes sense. The main

Yes, the torusphere concept is physically impossible. Because the whole thing is a loop, the object doesn't even have any theoretical substance, it's all made of (artificially thickened) motion blur. Hence the title, motion blur a

If you're working with triangle meshes, I think the approach of extruding triangles into prisms looks promising. It allows drawing arbitrarily long trails with OK performance. Sadly it did not match the constraints of cramming the whol

Ah, I assume this was posted because ambient.garden was just on the front page. Re-reading it now, I think it should really have been 2 articles. I think I still like the first half, it's a reasonable dive into the detail of what motio

Thanks. I just pushed a new version that throttles the FPS to 60. If you could test again on your device that would be great :D

It's an interesting question. The original website actually ran the music generation code straight in the browser with no samples used at all, but it was a bit CPU-intensive. You can still access that version at https://ambi

Yeah, I'm not sure beefiness is the actual problem, I tested it on a phone with a Snapdragon 855, which is supposed to be slower than yours in every respect, and it ran smoothly enough. I guess that's why real gamedevs spend a lot

Sporth is the most fun I've had programming audio. The Forth-like syntax is perfect for building audio graphs in a way that's simple and terse. It was also like a "gateway drug" to go from programming synths/effects

Thanks! It was honestly kind of a dark path. The graphics are based on Three.js (which is awesome), and I initially rendered everything with a rarely-used WebGL/OpenGL feature called GL_POINTS, which seemed like a smart way of doing an

I think I agree on Portal 2! Honestly, the rendering style may have been an unnecessary challenge. It was way harder to implement than I thought and caused me to almost abandon the whole thing.

You can absolutely compose in just intonation (JI). It's not terribly difficult, especially digitally as you say. This style of composition is often called "N-limit just intonation" (for some value of N) or "freestyle JI

I think we agree. "Giving a prompt to a black-box model created by a large corporation" is just the average, and the popular perception of the term "generative art". Genuary is also explicitly about making art with code,

As someone who's been making art with code for a long time, I'm under the impression that "generative", in the context of computers and art, has had another change of meaning recently. "Making generative art" n

Really neatly done. It felt difficult but maybe it's a skill that can be learned. Spoiler: At the end, it shows you a graph of how many turns people took to solve it, and if I'm reading it correctly, only 30-ish people solved it a

That's a valid point of view, but it sounds like a different, more educated take than your original comment. This education is exactly one of the reasons why I love games like this. To clarify, " For instance, if you were project

It's true that it's hard to tell from the screenshots, but I'd say this game is way more non-euclidian than a mere "euclidian plus portals" kind of space. It's not simply the projection that makes it look stran
