Simon invented this fun game in Processing after he and his little sister had some proper winter fun outdoors in the fresh December snow (quite rare for the local climate … Continue reading The Snowball Throwing Game in Processing
Its Highness Magformers S.T.E.A.M. Master Set, Simon’s long aspired gift for Sinterklaas (the biggest holiday of the year for the Dutch) and what he built with it. The set mainly … Continue reading Playing with light and mirrors
Simon’s new take on cellular automata: Some results would make fancy knitting patters! In case you wonder, what on earth are cellular automata: A cellular automaton (pl. cellular automata, abbrev. CA) is studied in computer … Continue reading Cellular Automata
Simon has prepared this implementation of “K-Means Clustering” in Processing as a gift for Daniel Shiffman, who is plainning to talk about this Machine Learning model in one of his … Continue reading Simon explains K Means Clustering
Simon’s version of the Citius Invaders game in Processing is finally working! The big bug that seemed so unsolvable (enemies endlessly crossing over) has been defeated! Siraj Raval presented this game in … Continue reading The Genetic Algorithm Game Bug Solved!
Link to Simon’s project in progress: https://codepen.io/simontiger/pen/LOg… The walk begins with a white grid. Every time the walker first visits a cell, it first turns purple and the green number inside … Continue reading Simon’s Music Random Walker
Simon created a wonderful project in Processing – a path finder that looks for the shortest path to reach the green cell, avoiding the obstacles. Every time the path finder … Continue reading Shortest path finder in Processing
Activation functions used in machine learning:
Simon has come with an idea of teaching a course as part of his live streams (every two weeks on Thursdays at 17 hrs CET) and developed a website with … Continue reading Simon develops his own programming course ‘Living Code’
Below are the archived versions of Simon’s live streams today. The second part (starting with a genetic algorithm game in Processing/ p5.js) was an emotional roller-coaster, with the OBS software … Continue reading Live Stream 30 November. Speechjs and Citius Invaders.
Simon has done his first video editing work this week, changing his archived live streams from 16 November into two shorter tutorials. Since the YouTube video editor has been deprecated, … Continue reading Simon edits videos
Simon told me today he was ready to start building his own DAE (Denoising Auto Encoder) neural network. He said he would be using a documentation page about a machine … Continue reading DAE neural net and Keras
