ahh close call! you'll get 30k in no time

Awesome! Congrats on the 25k! I'll try to catch one of your stream. I was thinking about grinding the game with friends as we did with lickitung.

thank you frk!

It is possible to tell if a run is legit or not. Based on the sushi spawns at the beginning, you can get the RNG seed. Then, if the run is legit, it would be possible to reconstruct the run as a TaS. It would be quite involved, but for sure any fake run would get caught eventually.

I remember it from Chao garden fights in sonic adventure 2

That is from Japanese Noh Theater.

Thanks!!

I think dealing with the RNG would be quite challenging.

Yes, I used the Poincaré half-plane model for the 3-dimensional hyperbolic space. I put a square lattice on the plane z=0 such that when you reduce modulo this lattice, the boundary becomes a flat torus, which is why I embedded this hyperbolic quotient space as a torus inside R^3. The project is open-source, but it might be a bit complicated to get some intuition from the code, maybe one day I'll make an explanation video.

It's a glitch that happens when the torus self-intersects, mostly because I did not design the code to handle such situations. It appears black because most rays get stuck in the torus for too long, it would take too much time to compute their final destination, if they ever get out. I also think the patterns we see at the end comes from the quartic polynomial solver which fails at some special values. I thought it looked interesting so I included it in the video. Thank you for your interest!

Thank you!

Awesome! Have fun!

Yes, my capture card is the retrotink 2x-pro.

Thank you! That's a good idea, I'll search for a good picture that could be used for a sphere at infinity UV-mapping.

Looks great! Will definitely give it a try, thank you!

Never tell me the odds!

Thank you! I did not smooth out the edges or corners, but it's related to (the densest) sphere packing, indeed. One downside is you cannot have flat surfaces.

@@falkush yeah, I had a similar idea where you start with shapes like this and then draw planes between nearby groups of outer edges to make them more smooth

@@bengoodwin2141 Sounds great! Something like a convex hull?

@@falkush I don't know exactly, I've thought of a few ways of doing it but I'm not very good at programming and don't know the terms used. Another way I imagined is that you'd replace all the dodecahedrons with spheres, and then imagine you like, laid a cloth over the surface of them? Or shrink wrapped them, but not exactly.

@@bengoodwin2141 Sounds cool! Good luck with your project!

probably yeah
