Tinker Tuesday for August 27, 2024

This thread is for anyone working on personal projects to share their progress, and hold themselves somewhat accountable to a group of peers. We can coordinate weekly standup type meetings if their is interest.

Post your project, your progress from last week, and what you hope to accomplish this week.


Last week's thread was quite a bit less active than the original one, but I think this is an idea worth continuing, so here we are. Though one thing that might be worth discussing is the pacing of the thread. If there's not so much activity, maybe we can go from weekly to monthly, and if anyone want's to give weekly reports, they can do so under their project's top level comment. Let me know what you think!

Firstly because I noticed that my system for visualizing distant bodies using forced projection failed to account for a million things and was utter lunacy in retrospect (but I was too much of a happy amateur in just trying things out to foresee this),

Heh, I think that's where I tapped out of my orbital mechanics project as well. Seeing Jupiter eat one of the moons that was supposed to fly in front of it was a bit too much.

I might make the repo for what I do with Unreal public since that will, by necessity from the difference in programming language, be a clean break and hopefully better-organized.

I'll try not to pester you too much about it, but I jusr want to say, I wouldn't worry about how well organized it is, or what others would say. The point of all this is to have some fun.
