Simulation of multiple particles connected mutually with springs. Made for Dan from the Coding Train. Simon’s original code with 2 particles: https://editor.p5js.org/simontiger/sketches/18ib3ZNKm Four particles: https://editor.p5js.org/simontiger/sketches/gkexoSqZZ Simon has also started building … Continue reading Particles connected with springs and Simon’s Physics Library
We were having a beautiful evening back home in Antwerp, at the harbor. At one point Simon started jotting some calculations on the reverse side of the menu sheet (he … Continue reading Why does everyone get tides wrong!?
Simon has had hours of fun with Test Tube Games, a science games portal featuring interactive explanations and dynamic puzzles on Chemistry and Physics. He has created two simulations based … Continue reading Test Tube Games
A real victory for Simon, who has had a bit of a fear of heights for years. But what he found most impressive were the noticeable changes in gravity while … Continue reading On top of The Shard, the tallest building in the EU
Here Simon explains one more effect he has played with at home, the Magnus effect.
Inspired by the Veritasium channel, Simon tests throwing a Slinky nd watching it collapse together and only then fall to the ground. He then ties a tennis ball to the … Continue reading The Slinky Experiment
We drew a line to mark how far the sea has pulled back between 17:30 and 21:00 o’clock. It’s amazing to observe the the Moon in action! We have read … Continue reading High and low tide
A set of awesome Codea tutorials that Simon recorded for those who are just starting to program in Codea. Simon ported examples from Processing (java) into Codea (Lua): In the … Continue reading Simon’s Codea Tutorials and the Arc-Tangent
This is a beautiful “lecture” that Simon in his pajamas, chocolate paste adorning is face, game me Friday morning. He spoke about pendulum force, a force he was about to apply … Continue reading Pendulum Force
Another translation involving the Codea app, only this time Simon decided to translate an example from Daniel Shiffman’s book The Nature of Code (Java) into Lua. The example comes from … Continue reading The Nature of Code Forces example translated into Lua
In this project Simon combined two exercises and one example from Daniel Shiffman’s Nature of Code book, Chapter 5 – Physic Libraries. The specific physics library used here is Box2D. … Continue reading MotorAttractor with Box2D in Processing (Java)
