I'm a first year comp sci student at Lancaster, we were shown this at info lab there!
Very solid elegant construction. When you're not touring why not leave it somewhere with a webcam on it and allow people all over the world to upload code and see the results. Not quite hands on but maybe the next best thing.
Imagine the trolls putting there some nasty content. Every script should be verified.
Ah the eternal struggle between freedom and control will never be fully resolved in favour of one or the other, nor should it be. I know people can be very creative but there's a limit to how nasty you can get in 8 voxel cubed resolution.
This and your other video (with the battle bot) are not showing up in my subscription feed. I am subscribed with the bell highlighted.
Welcome to the algorithm
Same here
Same here. It showed up today as a suggested video. Then I went back to all of the subscribed videos and tried to find it in that list, but it wasn't there.
exactly the same here
Same. Luckily came across this and the battle bot video 11 months later when scrolling down through the list of Computerphile videos!
an accelerometer would make for some pretty cool things, imagine moving that cube around with simulated water in it
Would 3D minesweeper be possible? Color coding the number of nearby mines instead of numbers?
I love this idea :D
I wonder how hard it would be or if it's even mathematically possible to successfully play and win strategically (and not by luck). A thing for Numberphile maybe lol.
@@TheSentientCloud I thought there was luck involved in regular minesweeper as well, esp in the corners, or if like your first move is an 8. Do you mean excluding those cases?
@@nightfury2986 I think the board is generated on your first click such that you can never hit a mine on your first click.
@@TheSentientCloud I mean if your first move has you completely surrounded by mines, so it displays an 8. Now your only move is to click some random one that's not adjacent to your first move.
As a high school student, I built a small 3D light cube with a fellow student. That project taught us more about assembly programming and electronics than the entire electronics course we took. Fun times...
And that's the best kind of learning. :) Having a "thing" in mind, pick a medium, or a language, or a specific bit of hardware, and work towards that thing learning the limitations and capabilities along the way. In college I learned the 6802 and the 68HC11 that way with our professors "Infamous Dr. Metzger's Chicken Pickin' Machine". Basically it was a simulated hopper to dispense a set weight of chicken pieces without going under at all, but staying as close to the value as possible by picking combinations of buckets until the sums were right.
I wonder what kind of LEDs are used there, because they need to shine the light in all directions to illuminate the ball properly. A typical LED has quite narrow beam.
Very nice!
About the awkwardness of addressing the grid points (because of the way the signal travels), you could create a mapping function that converts conventional 3D coordinates to your custom addresses (that is, if you haven't done that already by now).
Looking forward to seeing that Tetris!
Kudos from Brazil!
great!
Very good !
I would try to create a virtual flashlight, some highly motion sensitive controller, that when point it at the cube would render a shaft of light
I have a better design in my mind with higher resolution:
Have the columns of light-dispersing balls in a similar array, but deliver light at a weird angle from which all the balls are visible at once. The cheaper version would use a projector, a more expensive one an array of lasers.
Another classic game you could implement for this is Breakout. I think it would be relatively easy to code, but quite hard to play! Nice project. I actually used to same kind of linked LEDs, but to make a digital Rubik's Cube with a friend :)
Here's a game I'd really like to see with this 3D light cube: 3d boulder dash (requires at least 7 discernible colors + 1 for empty place)
3:18 oh no, galvanized steel isn't the worst: have you ever tried soldering aluminium or titanium? those are the worst to solder (=impossible to solder)
There is something that looks just like that in my engineering classroom, its even 8x8x8. Though it is physically smaller and has bare LED’S
I do want to see the 3d Tetris come to be 😂
For 3D Tetris, you may want to look at a game called Blockout which was pretty much exactly that, but in ray-traced 3D.
It was 3D, but just flat polygons. Not even close to ray-traced.
3D-TETRIS for the Virtual Boy is actually raytraced :)
cool

This was never on my sub feed. Fail.
