A K-Hole is weird, it's like you can't remember how you even got there, like that scene at the cafe in Inception where Di Caprio explains that you never remember the start of a dream, you never remember how you arrived there. The main thing about being in a k-hole is that everything kinda starts feeling like you're in a world of bubble wrap, or that everything in the world is pixelated. But it's less that you're seeing the world like that and more like you're _FEELING_ it. Time itself stops being one smooth movement and instead becomes very jittery and only progresses in distinct pixelated chunks like that too. It becomes next to impossible to move, because every step feels like it takes an absolutely monumental amount of time to happen, and you feel so shaky and your legs weak that you don't wanna risk moving anyway and so if you do, then it'll be on your hands and knees crawling so that you don't fall over. And sound becomes pixelated too, if that makes sense. It probably doesn't make sense, unless you've been in a k-hole before. You know like when you put your face up to a fan and start humming into it and it makes it sound weird? It's like that. Except you're the only person who can hear sound in that way, other people just hear you sounding normal. It's nothing like non-euclidean Doom.

Doesn't the change to pi make movement of the character non-euclidian? Well technically, the character doesn't move, the world moves around the character, but it does so relative to the player, so it is in essence a circle around the character. So by changing the value of pi, that circle now has a curvature stronger or weaker than it should have. Which makes it non-euclidian, yes?

The question really is, between pi and 4, where exactly does it segfault. It clearly doesn't like pi=4 but likes pi=3.141952654 so where is the cutoff? Is 3.5 fine? 3.75? 3.25?

Maybe, but then that would require the function to have the correct definition of PI as well. More probably the maths result in a runtime error (division by zero or other illegal operation) at some value greater than pi. It's also worth noting that carmack's wrong pi is technically larger than pi, by 0.0000000003 but still it *is* larger, so the precise cutoff would be interesting (and the effects thereof likely subtle since 4 crashes) Anyway, it'd be trivial enough to test this myself but I don't actually care enough to do that. I just wish it was covered in the talk is all. Hell, given a few minutes I could work through the code and figure out why it crashes too but again: not worth the effort.

However what if for every pi you used 2*pi that way you are trying to go left in the game but you actually walk in a circle. In order to walk slightly right you walk in a circle. Or maybe a straight line in the game requires you to walk in a circle. Maybe you could do it outside you walk in a large circle to go in a straight line. Turning left requires more turning than turning right. And going in a straight line requires turning.

Software Engineer - Data Platforms here. Precomputing via LUTs is such a great strat. I use it all the time, especially when you don't need reactive concurrency for data retrieval. Say you've got a PowerBI model (ugh IKR), selecting from data on that model takes compute, DAX on the query takes compute... Say, why don't we use a CTE to precompute the results for the semantic model? Then we can just create a holding table and truncate it and insert from the view every time we want to run this report. Well that just removed a lot of compute time for end users! And since we're inserting a whole dataset, we can then alias that against anything else we might want precomputed... How about a date slicer with historical values grouped by date? Dynamic, complex, historical queries. In PowerBI. Resolved to the end user in 0.001s Powerful stuff LUTs. Oh they also make LODs a lot easier in Game Design. Dame with lighting and reflection probes too actually.

Guys... I really love you so much... thanks a lot! I was searching for an inspiration for describing not euclidean spaces in a Call of Cthulhu adventure. Now i have it

You didn't try the Indiana Legal pi of 3.2 😢

If you compute the circumference of Earth using the incorrect value, the result is 4 cm larger than using the correct value, so errors are negligible. However, it would be interesting to use the value 3.2 for pi in this simulation, since this was the value proposed in the Indiana pi bill of 1897, that sought to fix the value of pi once and for all. Using the Indiana value for pi, the calculation of Earth's circumference would be 742.6 km too large.

Lol, that was my idea for day of PI 14 of March, glad that somebody made this already and i don't have to recompile any doom port for that :)

It's for artistic effect

As one professor said "pi is close to 5, which is close to 2pi, so you can just use 10".

I'm not sure that this is actually non-euclidean, but I'm interested in what is actually going on under the surface here.

I like this video becasue im not knowledgeable enough to understand the JPEG injection part, but im delighted that the audeince did and it made them happy.

I wonder if pi=3.2 will work. If so, that needs to be released as "Indiana Doom"

That was magnificent.

I think this is the closest I will ever get to being a 4th dimensional being

That was so cool!

I was missing pi=3.15 or something like that. Would have been interesting for what values of fake_pi > pi it still would have been playable.

8:53 I ❤ this

This is how I perceive moving through higher dimensions with a 3D body

12:07 so it compiles when you fit a number by original digital pattern of pi, like, x.xxxxx ?

I don't think it would "not compile" for any other value than 0

05:35: Lookup tables and interpolation works fine using fixed-point arithmetic. There is no mystery about computing Sin using BAMs. (BAM = "Binary Angular Measurement")

Would be interesting to see what that actually do to the geometry of the space and how/if things change relative to player or camera movement and stuff like that.

This was pretty fun and interesting for me as a total non-programmer and non-hacker (except for some high school java)

since computers are powerful enough, you could have some code that periodically changes the lookup table values based on new values of pi. That would be interesting to see

Or calculate them instead of looking up, if you're going to be updating the lookup tables anyway the performance boost from using lookup tables is gone. That way you can put powerups in the map that change all sorts of constants.

this is funny. i just watched another conference which started with a discussion on pi and i think the lecturer used that same incorrect approximation as an icebreaker

What would make this really weird is if the object hitboxes and the map were actually moving. I don't think they are, since they are determined by the map developer, without need for pi (they are simple co-ords)

It was also Quake that used the reciprocal square root hack. I think they have accepted certain inaccuracies.

So essentially, you made four-dimensional Doom. 4Doom. You shift the ana-kata axis by iterating pi within the range (0, π].

>guitars Hackers in 1993 were so much cooler.

4:20 Did he not have a pocket calculator at his disposal?

I find comfort in the idea that a 30 year old code is still relevant and usable today. It's a hint that coding games is slowly becoming an art of its own.

Its not really non-euclidean geometry with a fixed value of pi, its just a bug. Value of pi would vary with position/size of circle in a euclidean geometry. It can't be fixed at 3.

Where exactly in tables.c does it define pi? I would like to try it for myself but i am not very knowledgeable about it.

That was brilliant

I wonder if Carmack is the original source of this value, or if he misremembered because he saw it that way somewhere.
