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.

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.

My next app developed using fantastic cross-platform system #DotNetMAUI, will be Wordy Blob. Building a diverse portfolio of apps, from Geology (Plate Tectonics Simulator), to games (Maxwell's Demon and Wordy Blob) and on to physics education (Wavicle).

The next game developed using .NET MAUI will be WordyBlob.com. Re-using the framework from which Maxwell's Demon was developed, the #XAML grid control with scoreboard at the top. But now with letter tiles and an English dictionary stored in a #trie structure.

The .NET MAUI game is now finished and is in the review process in the Google Play Console. So, 14 day closed testing starts soon and then general release. It's called Maxwell's Demon.

A video of the Win Forms utility app. I wrote it for designing the levels in the game - positioning the collections of balls and the various shaped walls that they bounce off. I'll put a devlog on YouTube at some point.

As with many games, designing the Maxwell's Demon mobile game means designing utility apps. I'm writing a Windows .NET Forms utility to create the layout files for the game's levels - placing walls and sets of particles.

Length of perimeter / diameter can stay 4 as the square-pixelated circle gets arbitrarily closer to a true circle and further from a square. But a bumpy perimeter is different from a smooth circumference.

Genuary 12 - "subdivision". Subdividing a photo into lines of roughly equal hue and then drawing bezier-curve-bounded shapes along those lines in an attempt to replicate paint strokes. I thought bezier curves would be as good a shape as any for this.
