I hate writing "neighbours" so I always write "vizinhos": `get_vizinhos(x, y)` is a classic. http://wiki.bananabanana.me/en/education/blender#game-of-life

Then I did code game of life and placed cubes accordingly, each generation raising the Z position but again, spent most of the time playing kaleidoscope.

I opened Blender today and thought: I'm going to code cellular automata, etc... Sure. Spent most my time looking at 3 spotlights pointing to a black floor. 🤷

Atom editor will be discontinued. Sometimes I feel like Microsoft has some sort of Midas touch but everything it touches becomes shit instead.

I really love this dithering from Blender's cycles.

I'm thinking a lot about the book Algorithmic Beauty of Plants while I try to learn Blender. The last time I felt this way was learning Processing and reading Nature of Code.

Nature of Code had many "copy and paste" examples in Processing but Algoritmic Beauty of Plants has very little I can use in Blender.

Two equally excellent ways to go about learning. Two different person learning.

Responsive design, no problem.
