Interested in software/creativity/physics/philosophy/ML. Recently finished MSc in AI at Uni of Kent UK and looking at ways to use it. Also working on .NET MAUI projects. Three published so far - one educational and two games. Educational physics sim next.
#PhysicsEducation app written using #DotNetMAUI now has working circular and straight dippers with variable amplitude and wavelength. Objects can be added and removed. Just need to fix the title bar and do load/save of ripple tank state so some standard wave phenomena can be shown.

#Physicseducation is vital to many developments both within and beyond the world of physics, but the field is facing a major issue: not enough students are enjoying and learning physics. How can we solve this "future of physics" problem? Explore one researcher's solution: https://ow.ly/BLXx50XhcKJ

More work on the next #DotNetMAUI app - an educational #physics game. Dippers, barriers and cross-sections can be moved around the ripple tank to create and observe various wave phenomena. Buttons at the bottom will be used to add objects.

Here's work on the next #DotNetMAUI app - an educational physics game. Check out those classic twin-slit interference fringes naturally emerging from the simulation.

Slight discrepancy between the #DotNetMAUI build on Android and iOS: When stroke size is set to 0, ICanvas.DrawPath() draws thin lines on Android but doesn't draw anything on iOS. On iOS you have to set stroke size to 1.0f or leave it as the default value. No biggie.

I take it back. Having installed #VisualStudio2022 v17.14.13, the SSH connection to my #MacMini now works, and #WordyBlob has now been successfully built on it and is running in an iPhone 16 emulator just fine. Well done #Microsoft. But I reserve the right to get grumpy again at the next problem.

Very disappointing that "Pair To Mac" from Visual Studio, to build my #DotNetMAUI apps for iOS doesn't seem to work. After a year of working with .NET MAUI successfully targeting Android I may have to drop it. There's no point having a cross-platform system that can only target one platform!

.NET MAUI is a great environment for cross-platform app development for anyone who is used to the MSVS/C# ecosystem. I used to use en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marmala... and C++, but it was discontinued. I hope .NET MAUI continues!
