Linear Stewart Platform test video #2
The main reason I made this machine was to teach myself how to run six motors at the same time.
In the process I learned that DC motors are very challenging to control.

Surrounded – my first cross platform OpenGL game
Recently Joel was going through the old Flipcode site and noticed a broken link to one of my old projects, Surrounded. It’s was my first attempt to write code that was easily cross-platform (windows, linux, and mac OSX). It’s a bit like smash TV, except that I never got around to making the wide variety of enemies that I should have. An exercise for the reader!
Here in this RAR file I’ve included all the source code, project files, and a pre-compiled windows executable. It is provided without warranty etc. If you build the appropriate project files for cocoa it should compile in OSX, and same goes for GCC/linux.

New linear stewart platform video
I’ve just completed assembly on my second stewart platform. I’m still looking for information about how to calculate the forward kinematics. If you know, please send me a message!
It’s 2015 and I’m still looking.

Intelligence amplification and the singularity
Interesting reading about intelligence amplification: We will make games that teach our children; They will make smarter games; Smarter games will make smarter children; and so on. But what if it all goes horribly wrong?
