but Acerola, I wanted to complain in the comments that the title, thumbnail and premise was just an excuse to trick all of us into learning fundamental parallel programming techniques... and you did that yourself
as a programmer and textile artist who loves the connection between the two, learning that a group of threads is called a warp made me very happy
But Acerola, I would have clicked on the video even if it just said "Fundamental Parallel Programing Techniques"
But Acerola, just so you know this "theoretical" completely random version of Minecraft you just described near the beginning of this video does officially exist! It's how the worlds are generated in Minecraft 4k, a Java Applet version of Minecraft that fits in merely 4 kilobytes! You could use a screenshot of that version for purposes of illustrating this concept, not just reusing the same 2d 2-color white-noise image! That, and acknowledging this obscure version of Minecraft would make the relevant portion of this video at least 20% cooler.
Every time you mock a web dev, there's an embedded algo dev laughing at your 0.6ms, hardware abstraction layer, operating system, high level language and bounded problem space.
BUT Acerola
if u think about it our entire universe is procedurally generated
That Terraria analogy is fun because there is a "secret" seed that makes you spawn in the underworld
I swear most of the time inbetween these two videos was spent not on figuring out the algorithm itself, but on figuring out how to tie this neat solution to a problem you have to a gaming topic. Not even a bad thing, it's just funny to me.
but acerola,
As a programmer who wanted to make games but ended up working on document management software, I realy enjoy you content and the free knowledge.
But Acerola you forgot The Elder Scrolls 2: Daggerfall! Your advert this time has convinced me you need to do your own skillshare course, on how to give a cat a belly rub. Thanks for another banger video Mr. Rola!
i love learning college level maths from a white guy who says "dogshit" at least twice in each video. Mr. Rola is my favorite teacher
Hey man, web developers are jealous of you for having time to play with these things. Not our fault web requests are polluted with a billion terrible frameworks. Actually wait, yeah it is. Well it wasn't my idea is what I'm saying.
2:45 "tame the chaos of your ball hair with todays sponsor, manscaped"
0:11 I have played (and enjoyed) literally every game he just mentioned. How is he reading my steam library??
11:48 as a web developer: As long as its using tailwind 4, the newest version of react in astro islands deployed to vercel edge written exclusively by chatgpt o1-preview, yea 400 ms is probably ok
5:36 NOOO HE SAID THE LINE
its so hard to grasp how insanely fast GPUs actually are
