My Obsession

(This post has been imported from an old blog of mine.)

For years I’ve been thinking about a rocket construction and flight game. Think 2D Kerbal Space Program, but with part design as well as craft design, and some SciFi aspects to it.

picture of a notebook showing my obsession with spacecraft — Just started on the project again and ran into a problem with the physics library I’m using (box2d), so for kicks I decided to calculate how many shapes I might need to try to make a planetoid have a variable surface instead of being circular.

Basically, a grandiose expansion of the concepts of KSP while simultaneously stepping backwards by making it 2-dimensional instead of within a 3D universe. I am a bit more realistic with my expectations than I previously was, so I know I’m not going to achieve it for a very long time, if ever, but it still is fun to think about or poke around with code or draw out some ideas from time to time.

Self-Terminating vs Inertial Activities

This post has been removed because it was promoting a pop-psychology concept without sufficient research or thought, and I consider that idea bullshit.

welcome to the past

I’m assuming you got here by going to the oldest page of posts. This isn’t where this blog actually started, because I imported posts from blogs I ran before this one. If you’d like to see where this iteration of me blogging started, go to world.hello();
