If you fly a plane while maintaining a constant compass heading, you'll trace a STRAIGHT line on a Mercator projection map, but your actual trajectory on the planet will SPIRAL into one of the poles. #indiedev #gamedev #computergraphics #computationalgeometry #topology

I've extended my terrain streaming libraries to the sphere using HEALPix partitioning. Hysteresis radii for CPU/GPU load/activate, per-frame command budgets and sphere subdivision are all configurable. #indiedev #gamedev #computergraphics #computationalgeometry #topology

New mountain-scale shadow system in my engine. It is a planet-wide horizon visibility bake: every texel on the surface knows how much of the sky is open above it, and that feeds straight into the aerial perspective and sun shading. #indiedev #gamedev #computergraphics #procedural #terrain #rendering

Stephen A. Smith talks on ESPN and is flirting with the idea of being president. Why doesn’t anybody ask him about his qualifications? If a plane has 200 passengers on it, it’s fair to ask if the pilot is prepared to fly the plane, and knows how to fly the plane.

Why Were The Founders Of The Heliocentric Model Always Shown Holding A Compass? 👁️🧭 Newton. Galileo. Copernicus. Kepler. And Why Does Freemasonry Use The Compass & Square? Simple. The Compass Draws A Circle Not A Globe. The Square Draws Straight Lines Perfect Angles. 90°. Circle + Straight Lines. Not Curves On A Sphere. Symbols Tell The Truth If You Know How To Read Them.
