This is one my favorite coding adventure episode! It is just so satisfying to watch a computer simulate real life to such precision.

Creating and evenly distributed set of points inside a disk is called phyllotaxis. Here is a javascript function that returns a function that gives the coordinates of the ith point in a phyllotaxis, ensuring that each point is separated from its neighbors by a distance d: function phyllotaxis(d) { var theta = Math.PI * (3 - Math.sqrt(5)); return function(i) { var r = d * Math.sqrt(i), a = theta * i; return [ r * Math.cos(a), r * Math.sin(a) ]; }; } // enjoy !

This is remarkably good for simulating fish! How interesting!

Definitely try using a discretized vector field for performance gains - divide the space into voxels/pixels and assign a vector to each voxel. Each entity goes to neighboring voxels and adds a vector from the center of that voxel to itself, with magnitude falling off with distance. When a boid tries to find its neighbors, it subtracts its own field from the global field and averages the vectors of its neighbors. This gives a nice "pheromone" style approach like in ant colony simulations.

Sebastian really makes some interesting and cool videos and makes them look easy using Unity which everyone can get for free. Much respect for this guy.

There is no linear scale of how "good" a programmer is. We're all made up of different strengths and weaknesses and tendencies. Sebastian has a very inquisitive and creative mind that drives him to dive deeper into lots of little aspects as many would and finding fun new experiments on the side. And he has(or rather takes) the luxury of having time and allowing himself to go off on tangents which often are rewarded with deeper understanding or snippets that can be used later or for something different or inspire a whole new project. I don't know what his job is or how much "professional" development he does but in some regards he might be considered a "bad" programmer. When he doesn't stick to a deadline, the scope get's bloated, maybe he has a difficult time concentrating on the task at hand, his code, while creative and doing what it should, may not fit well with others from a team or cohere to certain standards, might lack motivation when the project isn't challenging or interesting. There's just so many aspects and different coders are better suited for different tasks. Find your niche and strengths and decide if you really want to earn money with it or rather try to keep the passion alive as a hobby. Not that it's impossible to work on a passion project and make money with that but that's the holy grail of most professions or activities. Like right as I bought my first DJ equipment, I decided I never wanted to do that for money despite investing money into it.

@@ThePC007 looping is pretty intensive, the less you can do the better. The best solution for performance is to calculate the raycast vectors at the start, so that you only ever have to calculate the directions once. Then, whenever a boid checks for a direction it's not doing all the turn fraction stuff and instead is just looping through an array of vectors. You can also adjust how many directions would be generated at the start if you wanted a less detailed obstacle avoidance, decreasing the amount each one would loop. The most performance intensive part other than calculating neighbours is actually iterating through each boid and applying their new movement vector.

@ThePC007

@@bearwynn If you use the partitioning scheme the looping shouldn't be _that_ intensive and depending on how you store the coordinates of the boids (preferably in an array consisting of only the coordinates themselves (and not a pointer to their object or anything)), then you could loop through them with very few cache misses, which would make it pretty fast. Calculating their distance and angle should be fast as well, since (I believe) you could even drop the square root part of the distance formula entirely.

There aren't many optimizations if we want to keep using rays in a classic "does the ray hit the triangle" way. But in this case we don't really care about precise surface collisions, just a rough idea of whether or not e.g a random background fish is about to swim through a wall or something. So we can optimize this significantly by by precomputing a 3D grid or octree and simply marking a given cell as solid or empty. Now we only need see if a vector passes through any solid cells, which is much easier than looking for ray-triangle intersections. Of course, once we have a simple integer-aligned grid like this, we can make a bunch of additional assumptions and optimizations. But I'll leave this as an exercise for the reader.

I'm really enjoying your videos! I'm not a coder, but it's beautiful to see how you play around with the code.

i wish there was more content on the internet like this. pure quality

Coding Adventure Guy: I want to program many individual objects to move around the field as if they were alive. Coding Adventure Guy, 2 minutes later: haha spirals

I swear Sebastian. You could recreate the universe if you tried. Make a randomly generated spherical planent (which you've done), add an also randomly generated ocean (also done) apply Darwinism to the fish you've made. Calculate your rain water erosion with real time clouds and plop a third person character on said planet. Combine all the things you've already done and you've got a game far better than all those AAA games. Make it an Rpg simulation game charge $20 and you'd make millions. You've been my coding hero since High school. Keep at it, your videos always make my day :)

Absolutely amazing, that’s actually mad, please never stop!

That's gotta be one of the coolest programming projects I've seen, gonna try this now thanks

I'm gonna stea- COUGH COUGH I mean cop- COUGH COUGH I mean look into this on my own and make my personal* implementation.......

Well I mean most coders aren't afraid to say they borrowed a few ideas from here and there. Especially if it's free to use. Why build say an entire system from scratch when someone has already done the feature you want?

@@genericytprofile852 true, but it's also bad practice to copy entire sections without understanding them ;)

Usually when watching these videos, I do not understand half of what he says. Does it get better over time? Still, they are very interesting to watch.

I love your work. So clean and elegant.

Not sure why this popped up in my recommendations, but it's actually very useful to me. I haven't looked up coding or math videos in a very long time, but today I'm doing some programming on a project involving lighting and the point distribution stuff will be very helpful to me. Thanks for uploading!

5:44 looks like the start of some pretty cool spiral galaxy rendering. Maybe a future part of your solar system series?

As soon as you said "a nice irrational number" at 3:01, I thought instantly of this Numberphile video : kzread.info/dash/bejne/pZ5stclxodHQf8o.html There is an immense overlap between this aspect of your direction-picking function and that video. And, the Golden Ratio is in fact *the most* irrational number, and that Numberphile video explains exactly why (watch all the way to the end). I'm mentioning it because of your clearly evident joy becoming sidetracked by the beauty of the underlying math. (100% with you on that, by the way!) Cheers!

That's exactly the video I thought about lol that was one of the best Numberphile videos imo

This is very sophisticated explanation. Its pleasure to listen your voice

Wow this exact thing was one of my university assignments like a year ago - it's amazing to see what we did similarly and what we did differently. In the end your solution seems to be a better one all around - well you live and you learn.

0:13 No one: Touhou players: put their cursor on the screen and start dodging

I just realized "boids" is supposed to be "birds" bit with a Jersey/NY accent

Very inspiring to watch + cool result + cute dog profile picture = perfection. Thanks for creating this

From start to finish, every bit of this video was impressive.
