More importantly the author of i3. :)

More importantly: the author of Gokrazy :)

thanks, I didn't know that, I love i3!

He also wrote a book which you can buy for 0$ if you want https://natureofcode.com/

or read it online for free https://natureofcode.com/book/

He's working on version 2.0 of the Nature Of Code which is more P5.js based than "processing" based (processing is p5's faster, platform native, but non web based sibling.).

I've used p5.js to make my nieces animated birthday notes.

There is a video series on the 2.0 (p5.js):

github repo for version 2 of the books site (which doesn't appear to be live yet..) https://github.com/nature-of-code/book-website-2nd-edition

Dan Shiffman is pretty great at explaining and introducing things. Coding Train videos get kinda advanced, which is slightly at odds with the "kid" like graphics.

The processing foundation is the umbrella group for p5.js, processing and some other tools (android and python based).

Platform independent might be clearer. It’s Java.

lamentably to late to edit..

The Java part of it is pretty well obfuscated/hidden, its much easier to install and get running than java for the most part.

Please do not post flamewar comments to HN ;)

well his post was sarcasm.

I'm pretty sure the comment you're replying to is a joke using dang's familiar disciplinary warning format.

exactly

And the text a little more to the left

Second Reality by Future Crew https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTjnt_WSJu8 ( It is considered to be one of the best demos created during the early 1990s on the PC)

I had a 386/40DX that could run Second Reality, and I was blown away. When I upgraded to a 486/66DX2 the first thing I did was run Second Reality, and I was shocked at how much of the demo content I had missed before from parts being truncated.

Also it’s worth noting that a lot of Second Reality’s source code got released to GitHub several years back: https://github.com/mtuomi/SecondReality and here’s an incredibly deep dive into the code: https://fabiensanglard.net/second_reality/

Finally, here’s some rare footage of the creation of the legendary demo: https://youtu.be/LIIBRr31DIU (English subtitles available)

That one blew me away. Another one I remember fondly is Dope by Complex[1], from 1995.

My computer at the time could barely play the the soundtrack itself in the tracker, it had so many active channels. The demo itself was a slideshow. Fortunately my friend had a 486/DX4 100MHz, so I got to watch it there.

To put this in perspective, there's no graphical acceleration involved here at all, everything pixel to be done on the CPU. And the microcontroller in the coffee maker at work is about as fast[2] as my friends 486[3].

And once you've finished that, go to Real Reality: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1f6UE27KTo Second Reality without a computer :)

Hahahaha damn! This made my day!

And then you check out Second Reality 64 by Smash Designs https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=1216

Yes, it's Second Reality on the Commodore 64 <3

Its OK. We know it wasn't intentionally.

No t-shirts this time ?

Hm? From the post: "If you complete all the levels, we'll send you a special-edition Stripe CTF3 T-shirt."

Ups, my bad
