This Jello Simulation Uses Only ~88 Lines of Code 

true and true, my cloth simulation also have just few line of actual simulation code + keyboard event handler + unknown amount of code from opengl imports xD

The thing is that most modern programming mediums have these libraries in them ANYWAY so

Yeah... But then again it's all relative. Think about how much code is actually involved in writing GUI code for instance. Leaving aside the insane amount of library and SDK code being called behind the scenes, getting a single window with the most basic input hooks set up in windows takes about 100-150 lines of code. Writing something that constitutes a complete, functioning program on an atari 800XL (1982 computer) can be done in less than 80 lines with no libraries to speak of... That's just a fact of life. As computers and operating systems have become more complex, the expectations and layers of abstraction have become more and more extreme. Getting that atari to draw a single pixel onscreen can be done with a single assembly language instruction, and maybe in the worst case about 50 instruction of setup right as the computer powers on. (for the era the Atari had a rather complex graphics chip that required a bunch of config - and if you're loading off floppy disk you get a bunch of extra complications.) To get a modern GPU to draw a single pixel onscreen, assuming you're also dealing with a modern OS... Would constitute about 500 lines of code you have to write yourself, and calls to about 3 different SDK's which contains at a minimum tens of thousands of lines of code, which in turn call operating system and driver routines which could get you into hundreds of thousands of lines of code directly or indirectly involved in the task. And what have you accomplished? Nothing more impressive than what the computer from 40 years ago did in a handful of instructions. Of course, that's not to downplay the capabilities of modern computers. That extra complexity arose for good reason. But it does put things in perspective about how much work is being done for you behind the scenes, I hope.

Solid Snake yes and with multiple operation by line

I don't know how coding works. When I saw the title I tought '' But how long are the lines !!? '' :) :p

@@Zemkezis ​you should learn even if you never professionally use it because it helps the way you approach problems in life. when you know how the game works it makes you a better player. this guy is one of my fav teachers ru-vid.comvideos I started with C++ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DamuE8TM3xo.html then python ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nwjAHQERL08.html but most start with python. you might see what works best for your mind. this is also a more "fun" teacher that I also like ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bY6m6_IIN94.html python has a lot of Ai modules that are super easy to use, but pytorch is the best because the license is most free. if more just simply approached in a programing way laws, personal relationship, and achieving you life goals, it would vastly improve the world. I learned from youtube videos it realistically it took about a year to learn, but now I use python like using the calculator or office suite program. at least 3 times a week to do something that I personally want to do just for fun. one thing that is super important that you learn is how important freedom of speech in licenses are, because when a license is restricted it means you can't do something and are not free, at least not legally. and programing will vastly improve your typing speed.

@@SimonWoodburyForget I think it's including functions.

@@bernardusmuller1109 Even then it doesn't mean shit. You can write a 88 lines program that will be less efficient than a 150 lines one as far as the machine itself is concerned. That and he is using an external library whose code lines are clearly not counted here, his code really is 87 lines of code plus one that includes an external file w/ thousand lines of code.

The code has to run on an operating system so it can be processed by the cpu so by your argument it's millions of lines of code

Candyapplebone yes. Although we take the OS & kernel, ASM, machien language.. etc for granted more than we take the high level libraries. Thats why i only limited it to 10000. I mean of your gonna be nit picky, why not include all the code ran by the robots in the assembly line that peaced togeather the computer your using right now.. and the code that runs on the robots who mine the raw materials needed.

@@kevin42 my point is we shouldn't be picky. If the guy wrote helpful enough libraries that it took "88 lines" to make a simulation then that's cool. Python is famous for visualizing stuff in a handful. Same arguments from the other comments apply, doesn't change the fact that this guy's work is cool

Candyapplebone oh, no no i didnt mean to be picky. My OCD just went off and i wanted to clarify to the general public(fellow newbies to programming) that it infact isnt that ”easy” when u dive deep into whats actually going on. by all means use 100 libs for your next project, im a sucker for a good lib aswell.

I think it will happen within 5 episodes.

@@martiddy I take your 5 and raise you 3,

mad chemiker I was expecting a more generic “...and not get in trouble for it.”, but that works too.

Exactly the same thought.

i didn't get why would it happen

You are very kind. Thank you so much! 🙏

I also think it's great, but would like a longer format of 5-10min with some more math and details =)

@@ofekluislewinsohn2506 actually I agree it would be awesome

Yes. Also like "ctrl shift face" ..

thats just the graphics engine library, all the calculations are done in those 88 lines

A fair comparison would be to check the size of the compiled binary.

Me trying to open Chrome

I would guess around 7 years based on mores law and the 122.9 seconds per frame (becomes 1.04 fps assuming the speed doubles every year)in the buoyancy test. Tbh it will probably be longer or shorter depending on consumer demand for something like this in a game. Just my opinion tho.

@@TrollsGoBouncing "Moore's law is the observation that the number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit doubles about every two years." (source: Wikipedia) That makes your estimate 14 years instead of 7 years (2**(14/2) ~ 122 => 1 FPS in 14 years). However, if we want to go to 30 FPS we would need another 5 doubling which makes it 24 years. That all said, as Károly Zsolnai-Fehér says "Two more papers down the line" we might see amazing improvements which could cut down the hardware capability requirements and therefore my estimate of 24 years.

@@Tondadrd I was using a half-life formula {122*(1/2)^t=~1}, but well, to each their own ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Edit: turns out im just bad at reading lmao

20 years, more or less

Just a quick read through his profile on his website, and a quick browse through his git repo has got me shook. I can't imagine someone just a few years older than me, doing all of this. If generic CS students out of college are making 6 figures, this guy deserves at least 7. Absolutely insane.

Seeing as it uses a pretty hefty library, many, many more.

not long whatsoever i don't think, especially since we can now do ray-tracing on what is essentially consumer graphic cards.

wito yeah that’s a good point, do you know if the ps5’s specs mean it’s probably more dependent on ai for ray-tracing? I figured it must be but idk shit haha

@@translila yeah, but the ray tracing found in games are lame, make small differences... Global illumination is the best ray tracing. Except no game supports it since it's too intensive

@@Ckcdillpickle still, its ray-tracing

@@translila and it barely changes anything.. Ray tracing is a pretty simple process.. Until you get into more advanced things like gi which has a massive change on everything but cannot be done in real time

You've got the code, dude. Go do it

This technology will be very useful in Skyrim mods.

Probably not. Eitherway you shouldn't count lines, but count how many chars there are.

@@NGC-qm1so even that is completely arbitrary, and does not really give an accurate detail of the complexity or real length of the code

Nah, crack open the RAM and we'll see how many bytes it took.

Is this a joke?

@@SianaGearz No. I am not familiar with CG tools other than gaming engines.
