Sorry to interrupt. I've just found out that the next video will feature no music at all. To balance this out, I've decided to express my worries, as i feel that the music is a very central piece of your videos. And I very much enjoy your videos. I'm also ready to be proven wrong, so I'm also intrigued.
Sorry to interrupt. I've just found out that you feel the music is too loud. Actually, the music was fine and was actually telling a story the whole time, and would get louder in proportion to the weirdness
"Lets use a proper programming language, like *Microsoft PowerPoint*" This just hit me like fricken freight train. I knew the information, but you never expect it to come up.
Pure genius; if genius was a way of describing an egg that has sat in the sun all day and you wanted something warm and gooey that could roll down a hill with ease. Thank you for making this
ps: (feel free to delete this comment if u don't want it to be discussed here but) i just found out u were trans and it's always great to stumble upon trans siblings in the wild 🏳⚧✊
haha really glad you like the videos and glad they scratch all those itches! that's what I'm aiming for! and yes, secretly all these videos are allegories for trans-ness and enby-ness. eg: the time travel video is actually about me deciding whether to transition or not. I hope to be a 'publicly slow transitioner' because it's what I wish I saw when I was growing up
This video is quite a definition of art. I watched the "Spellular Automata" video, then jumped into "New Cellular Automata", then "Top 9 ways to make Time Travel", then I just decided to binge the entire playlist. I thought these were just devlogs with creative presentation. But now I've reached the current cliffhanger of this saga. This is quite a unique experience I haven't really seen before. This video, to me, felt like it defined this saga as a whole: started with a concrete idea bound by certain expectations, subtly started going out of the box, then fully turned into an amorphic vessel to project your creativity onto, using loopholes inside the rules that you yourself created. This is a ship of Theseus that was partially repaired and rebuilt over time at first, but now you just create an entire new ship every episode. Then you turn that ship into a fractal. Sorry to interrupt, I'm writing this comment right now, and I've just realized I've started going off a tangent trying to make sense of my thought process projected onto your videos projected onto me. Maybe I'm not supposed to try to understand it all 100%. Either way, I'm here to enjoy the ride. I hope whatever is holding you back from creating the next episode (seeing how the 3 months thing has already been surpassed) is only temporary, and that you're doing well.
thanks, glad you're enjoying the ride :) i put whatever emotions i currently have into these videos, so they're usually based on something really specific, but i think the underlying emotions sometimes resonate with others too, sometimes not. all is well with the next video, I'm enjoying making it. it's taking longer for a number of reasons, like: it's an 'all-star' mix of some recurring themes (similar to define define), I'm using different editing software, I'm busier doing admin around the videos because of the channel growing, I'm doing a different thing with the background music. looking forward to it though :)
I can imagine being very annoyed by comments "correcting" whether something counts as something. The HTML bit definitely gave me a giggle. Nice work as always.
The best way I can describe his work is something that'll fail you college, something the industry doesn't want to buy, something the world desperately need. Something different.
This is such a great and unique style of combining art, creativity and computer science in one video, I absolutely love it! By the way, HTML/CSS actually *is* Turing complete and therefore *is* a programming language. I once made Minecraft in it (without JavaScript).
I love the concept of Turing complete. As long as you have a simple set of concrete rules in a system, practically anything can be Turing complete. Once you have two logic gates, it’s Turing complete.
@@plumune1705Funnily enough, this also applies to programming-languages and bytecodes/machine-codes: It's possible to make a TC lang with 1 instruction/opcode, since this single instruction is allowed to do many things in sequence, such as conditionally-writing memory and conditionally-jumping
This video made me realize that lots of TodePond would fit really well on an educational TV series! Good vibes and imagery, not crazy technical while still being informative, and it doesnt take itself too seriously. BBC please pay Lu lots of money.
I rarely comment on any video (never did if I think about it) but I just have to now. I saw the first sandpond saga vid just a couple weeks ago but was hooked after the first minute. The combination of beautiful animations, story and code is phenomenal. Love it. Educational entertainment with a grain of trippy animations and voiceovers. Keep up the fantastic work.
My god, im amazed by how simple your videos are but yet, they make me question the simplest of things. Please keep up your work and create more! Much love!
As someone who has a lot of computer science stuff on their youtube feed that is super technical, I love that your videos instead of getting very technical go much more into that philosophical and introspective direction. Really like your stance on definition (and powerpoint!) because when I try to come up with information about myself I struggle finding anything (eg. what music I like, what hobbies I actually have, what my primary interests are), it's much simple just being yourself, not thinking about it and enjoying the things you do!
Getting used to the brain massage of the other videos then watching the absolute frogfuzzle that is this video is definitely an interesting experience.
who needs mushrooms, i have the sandpond saga, wich is a series of videos in youtube. edit: actually, while i was reading my comment i realized, the sandpond saga is not a series of videos in youtube, instead it is a vaguely conected list of videos in youtube, a real series of videos in youtube would be the parts of a let's play
actually while i was editing my comment, i realized that that is not really a comment about the video, but just an idea i had, a real comment about the video would be: it was a great video, now i learnt tha the strict definition of define lets me be vague

Hey I found your videos on Mastodon and I just want to thank you for making them - they're all lovely and creative. This is probably my favorite channel I've come across in the past year.
This video was awesome! I think it’s meaning or “definition” to other people differ. I saw it as exploring the fluidity and looseness of language and the human mind. We define things, but they aren’t always clear. They aren’t concrete and they can mean different things. What really is a “cup”, is a cup anything different from a pile of atoms? How do we differentiate between a cup and a bowl? What is art? Is scribbling art? Is everything created by human art? What defines anything, what defines define. Or maybe this wasn’t the message, maybe I just got the definition wrong.
Right now my buddy is on the journey to the end of a fractal, he’s actually gotten closer to the end than anyone else in the world but he’s also the furthest away of anyone in the world. Either way I support him
The feeling of enlightenment where you necessarily don’t learn or understand anything new should be given it’s own definition, such as definition-experience or something similar.
"There are no differences but differences of degree between different degrees of difference (and no difference)." - William James Using this quote, define is defined as that which ascribes properties to that without properties.
I just recently found your channel and have watched most of your videos by now. Sad to see that you have not got more traction by now, you videos are really high quality. For what it's worth I would be happy to see new videos from you.
I just discovered your channel recently, and they are definitely the type I will keep rewatching whenever they appear in my feed. A lot like Exurb1a but for (sometimes tangentially related) sand engine content. I love it.
I cannot define how much I loved this vide- sorry to interrupt but I was just posting this comment and I realized that was a definition of how much I loved this video.

I love this so much, the ideas are so unique, it's programming, and it's funny, and it's just a little out there. The little clarifications coming in to further specify it again and again was just amazing
I love that I can watch these videos, from some of them learn something, from all of them feel like I learn something. They are insanely creative. You're going to do great things.
I've never felt so confused yet amazed with a single video. Thank you so much for whatever this experience was. And please continue making this, by far one of the best channels out there love the quality of everything
bro i got suggested this guy's channel like once and i love his voice so much lol (calming) i cant stop watching the sandpond saga now ive used some videos to help me sleep
Okay, you've convinced me the universe was created last Thursday. There's no way your videos have been out for months and months and I haven't found them yet. Such a nice, quirky and creative way of doing things. :)
Can safely say I haven’t experienced anything like your channel before. Truly unique and so pleasantly addictive. Cannot wait to see where future vids take us. Also, perhaps the most soothing voice on the platform.
Sorry to interrupt. I just found out that your hair got longer through the video. This means that you did at least spend 3 months on this video. Also I love these frog kigurumi pajamas :3
This video perfectly captures my train of thoughts. The chaos makes me feel at home Sorry to interrupt, I'm editing the comment right now and I've just realized that that these constant chaotic thoughts is NOT normal. It's actually just ADHD
I absolutely adore this video. I love the soothing sounds, voice and background, the visuals are shapy and cute, and the humor is so endearing. I will definitely binge all previous 36 episodes tonight. See ya then! Love 🧡
We've been kind of obsessed with your videos. Just found them right this instant and keep ... like, not watching them fully because low energy and adhd but keep jumping around from video to video and they are so comfy and also we spent a silly amount of time trying to make sense of cellpond yepyep.
This gave me the experience of hearing a word enough times that it stopped sounding like a word. The fractal bit was great, thanks for making these videos.
This entire video is just an elaborate way of asking someone their pronouns
I laughed guturally idk how to spelt
ill send this to anyone who i want to ask
:(
lol nice
how so?
I'm going to be honest, that reuse of the definition of art to get the definition of definition was amazing. Please don't stop being this.
it flows specially wellafter fractals
WOW

How horrible 🏳️⚧️💙

Hey, another transister, here, waving at my other trans siblings, who I stumbled upon accidentally, and didn't even know it.
Its really hard to define what your videos are . But they feel very unique and psychedelic in a way. Thanks so muich for uploading.
I'm not sure if this was on purpose or not, but I like how the end cards appear at the same beat of the song
haha thanks - yes it's on purpose :)

ive used some videos to help me sleep
Okay, you've convinced me the universe was created last Thursday. There's no way your videos have been out for months and months and I haven't found them yet.
Such a nice, quirky and creative way of doing things. :)
btw, congrats for your channel picking up momentum after such a long time of making videos!
Can safely say I haven’t experienced anything like your channel before. Truly unique and so pleasantly addictive. Cannot wait to see where future vids take us.
Also, perhaps the most soothing voice on the platform.
This was amazing. Loving these monthly uploads. 😊
This video hit me SO hard, I felt compelled to write a second comment, just in case it makes it more likely to be recommended by TH-cam.
Im adding my comment now: Here at 2.4K subs. Can’t wait for this to be the next big thing
Sorry to interrupt. I just found out that your hair got longer through the video. This means that you did at least spend 3 months on this video.

I love your channel so much! Your videos are so polished and unique, and cover a lot of nicher interests I enjoy :)
This channel is FLAMES!!! Criminally underrated!!
The aesthetic in this video are top notch! It's so calming watching your videos! Your voice is so soothing!
This was such a lively/intelligent video~ Good job!
I was expecting some thoughtful exploration into "code as art" and got sucked into a fever dream of existential crisis.
This video perfectly captures my train of thoughts. The chaos makes me feel at home
