@MartinEnder I'm not sure I understand. Why would a thick German accent make you cringe?
You're German, right?

@flawr That's really cool.
@flawr In general, I cannot locate accents. I can tell it's there, and perhaps how strong it is, but otherwise, no idea if it's Spanish, British, German, Chinese, Japanese, Indian, etc...

@DJMcMayhem I am. I don't know, I thought that's a universal thing, when you hear people speak a foreign language with a thick accent of your own language.
What might add to it is that Germany is one of the European countries where many many people don't have conversational English skills (which I blame solely on dubbed TV), which makes it feel a bit embarrassing.
09:08
@MartinEnder That might of course be a factor too.

^ looks like a fun game (not out yet)
reminds me of final ninja
hahaha the ending of that trailer
that really looks good though
also nice soundtrack
although I'll have to disagree with "unique ninja rope game mechanics"
uh, what... initial platform iOS... this game looks way too hard for mobile, and if it's initially a mobile game, I wouldn't get my hopes up for the quality of the controls on a PC port, but I guess we'll see
10:12
Oh I didn't see that it was for mobile devices.
That means the only control is probably gonna be tapping
I think I'm gonna stick to nitrome's final ninja then :)

Interactive SmoothLife full screen recommended
3
@MartinEnder that is really cool!
I'd seen smoothlife before on youtube, but it's so much more amazing when it's interactive
clicking and holding generates four really cool gliders
12:16
It's amazing how organic this already looks.
You could probably convince most people that this is a video of some cell size organisms.
yes, definitely. I wonder what structures you could generate with more flexible tools for initial conditions
CMC: Build a digital clock in smoothlife.
I like how those shadertoy guys always write their own random functions=)
13:02
turns out the definition of SmoothLife is actually fairly simple
@flawr what I also find really cool is the "surface tension" of those ribbons that form sometimes

@MartinEnder Well, monolingual so I wouldn't know. I guess it kinds makes sense when I think about it even though it's a little bit unexpected. It probably depends on how fluent you are in the second language

I just took a thermo exam... feel pretty good about it.
Speaking of which, I wonder if there's an alternative to entropy: something which has similar uses (to tell whether a process is possible/reversible) but which gives different values.

@MartinEnder Yeah! Also the cute little gliders, looks like they are swimming.
@PhiNotPi try 2S. I'm calling it the Endropy. Where is my Nobel prize?
@MartinEnder saw this coming a mile away
Haha=)
@MartinEnder Well you get no bel prize.
21:21
</slowandbadjoke>
perhaps you could port it to JEndero or EnderoJS
ok that one was even worse, sorry
I should go to bed.
