Quirky Quintet – Page 30 – Take 4 at a stable blog

I’m surprised at how powerful this trick is, and how poorly I speak English.

Some lessons from looking at this video:

I need to execute a pinky count more accurately (you might be able to catch my mistake if you notice everything).
I need to consider changing the handling for getting the card out of the middle; it just looks awkward.
Pronounce the word “deck” nice and slowly.

So I’ve decided this semester, we’re going to implement the entire Nvidia PhysX library and do particle-based dynamics next.

– CS5643

I mentioned that I was 1. making a gif and 2. working on the particle-based fluids for my CS5643 class. Well, here it is.

I recently bought a decent Logitech webcam just to make random videos like this to practice. Hopefully stuff comes out of this.

I’ve been working on a few things:

Position-based fluids for my CS5643 class, which is a pain to debug. Normally, I have tons of intuition on what numbers are suppose to be but my intuition is nil here. I’m unsure as we’re guessing the correct parameters or even the right formulas and procedure.It’s a great class, just the project are incredibly tedious. For example, my particles right now just seem to float of into the x direction and stay there. Why would it do that?
Hopefully, what ends up happening is something like the following, except less pretty.
I finally installed Hearthstone for my Elementary OS Linux box. It was incredibly easy following this tutorial.
In terms of research, I’ve been reading up on different ways to generate the Krylov basis for GMRES as described in this paper. I’ll probably write up and refined the old “idiot’s guide” again for this paper information (and fix the bad latex in there).

My card handeling has suffered :(.
