Hello Rob
You know video is good when " I invented a programming language" is an insignificant part of the video
This comment reminds me of the time someone made an entire functioning calculator in vanilla minecraft using redstone
@@Lily-xl4hg and the person who MINED BITCOIN IN SURVIVAL MINECRAFT
Somebody made minecraft run on redstone and another made pokemon red
He hacked Geometry Dash to perform 3D rasterization.
creating a programming language that compiles to gd is not that hard:
1. make a lexer to tokenize the input program (use the logos crate in rust to do this)
2. parse the file into an AST (just a bunch of trivial functions)
3. create an abstraction to parse a gd level file (easy boilerplate)
4. add a function to place triggers down in the level (well documented)
5. walk the AST and place down triggers corresponding to the program
it's not that hard so long as you know how to create significant abstractions before you jump into larger parts of the project

This is not a “how i made video”. This is a philosophical video about the value of art and content in an era where the suffering of creators isn’t real for the average person. This is a video about how a 1 minute stage in a mobile game stole 2 years from one of the most talented and creative people in the world. This is amazing.
amazingly well put, couldn't have said it any better
Neither could I
An era? The suffering of creators was never real for the average person :(
@@heidolf6002Creators are not more unique in their suffering than any other person, and it is incredibly self-centered to imagine so. The pain of the artist is the pain of the firefighter after a day of smoke and ash, of the mother who works overtime to feed her kids, of the teacher with a headache who still has to teach a classroom of children. The issue in a commercialized society, we expect people to hide this pain because it's bad for "the bottom line".
@@dado__ also, we live in a time where markets are so oversaturated that artists often are also working as teachers, baristas, or any other menial job, so that comes with its own particularities
"I made my own programming language that turns the code into geometry dash triggers." WHAT
I looked in the comments just to see if anyone gave him enough credit for this single sentence. Wtf, the guy is a genius
Yep, that is the title.
I think even with his video and everything, it's so difficult to articulate the scale of how much Spu7Nix put into this. Monstrous is an understatement.

@@misterspaceface4407 i didn’t mean to say anything against kids. I meant this gives about the same ratio of impressiveness for a more mentally developed person as drawing a 3D object on a sheet of paper would to say, a 4 or 5 year old.

I have never played Geometry Dash in my life, but this video was more compelling, interesting, and better structured than any TV show i've seen in years.
trust me, creating something like that is sooooooo hard, even gaining 1 creator point is the hardest thing to do in the game.

This video took my faith in humanity (and even in myself) into an entire new level.
I have no option but to call the cliche: humans are amazing --- more than amazing, you/your work transcended what amazing is.
In my career in software/hardware engineering, I used to have many challenges that at first seemed impossible for me. Even in the face of this impossibility, I thrived.
But then I got bored, tired, sloppy and even started running away from challenges - always looking for the easiest route.
This video reignited my internal flame. Extracting a piece from "Giorgio By Moroder":
| You can do whatever you want
| So, nobody told me what to do
| And there was no preconception of what to do
Thanks again.

I clicked on this video and almost immediately clicked off because I thought "oh wait this isn't the other person I'd seen doing 3D levels in 2.2 what do I care if someone else did it again", and I am very glad that I stayed. Every once in a while someone pushes a game so far beyond what it was ever meant to do and it is always fascinating. This is one of the coolest things I've ever seen put on the internet. I know I don't know you at all, and I know it doesn't change the dissatisfaction you feel, but I am proud of you for doing this. Stuff like this is what I love about humanity. There's no profit incentive, no great scientific discovery to be made, and yet you did it, and I think there's some real beauty in that.

"As if the limitations of the previous game were not what made your stuff interesting but what held it back"
That is literally what i feel, i used to have a recreation of the arrow trigger but now its gone from a complicated level to just
one object you can place.
He actually said it the other way around insinuating that the limitations were actually what made it interesting now those limitations are gone it's no longer as interesting as it once was. But I guess now you can try and find the new limitations and see how you can push those and again create something no one would expect

24:23 "Not touching grass" brung into a whole new level
I like how the majority (if not all) the video is written in 2nd person. Good writing
Yea, dude has to stop talking about himself in 2. Person. It makes him sound insane... WAIT! 😅
This is one of those magic tricks you still don't understand even after someone explained it to you
The more he tries to explain it the more magical it becomes, rare but awe-inspiring
That storytelling is on ANOTHER level, like if while designing this you went beyond human limits on everything. Great video, greatest level. Kinda scary even...
I don't think most of the people can understand how actually impressive this really is. This is literally god tier programming and working with the limited tools you have. He litterally reinvented the basics of coding almost from a scratch, it's like making first 3d rendering program for the first time. This is god tier, nothing lower.
20:56 "The funny thing about sleep schedules is..." is such a relatable and hilarious line
As a student, i agree
I know lol
this is single handedly one of the most impressive projects in video game development i have ever seen. i have been in game development for 9 years recently giving up to go pursue a normal life (not by choice) and i have had to conquer many different problems through out my career and i never managed anything this great, you are a true inspiration for so many reasons, i can tell this project took a lot out of you but you should be proud of yourself that is truly amazing what you've done within that game, including DEVELOPING YOUR OWN CODING LANGUAGE TO TURN CODE INTO BUILDING BLOCKS USED WITHIN THE GAME. you're insane man fr, but you should be proud of what you've done with it.
Honestly the ending kind of gave me a sense of dread as a fellow creator/artist (this is basically art let's be real here), I never really thought of it but the feeling of being so lost in doing something you thought you loved and losing touch with yourself actually kind of terrifies me. The way you framed the reception of the level as something you would have been really excited about but can't really enjoy, and the need to step away from the computer after spending so much time working on the level really hit me.
I spend a lot of time in Minecraft (specifically in creative mode, building and learning commands) and while I have never been quite as innovative as you are, I always want to get better, build bigger, make crazier stuff, and this video reminds me that I need to focus on my life and my friends and my family and all that
Sorry for the long comment, but this video really punched me in the face, also amazing level, it really is a culmination of that era of Geometry Dash
Remember to take mental health weeks. I'm on one and the simple act of knowing you don't need to work tomorrow can jumpstart inspiration. It also doesn't have to. For me, working on my project is my biggest hobby and I still love doing it. Everyone is different but I think sometimes the key is to not work.
The monstrous perfectionism and the stubborn competence is a deadly combo, but ur doing great man. Don't be so hard on yourself
"Or you could just lay down, close your eyes... maybe then you'll figure it out"
Words I wish I knew years ago.
love your energy and creativity! "Eventually people will expect you to make something even bigger and even better, as if the limitations of the previous update were somehow holding your stuff back, and not what made it interesting in the first place" is such a good quote too, i'm saving it 😳
that line in and of itself is art
Dude forget about RUclips you'll have DE Shaw knocking on your door with this as your resume
