I really like this! I recently started making simple cocktails, and I am certainly going to use this. Things I'd like to see: * I prefer milliliters over oz (I didn't even know wha…

> and come from divorced families What does this have to do with the rest of your sentence? Are you implying that people who come from divorced families are more self-centered?

The iPod, maybe?

> If you think being famous is what makes someone qualified to create a product you want to buy, then you're not going to buy his product. That's not what he said. He only asked fo…

In that sense, all games are rendering in 2D, because screens are 2D. They just do it in a much more complicated way. What I'm seeing in this demo is 3D in every sense, the code is…

> It's great that we see youth influenced and impacted by HN. So this is the HN version of "We did it, reddit!".

Who is insulting him? People are just saying that his age is not relavent to what he did, and I agree. His post should describe the project. It should be about how awesome his proj…

That's awesome, but I don't like the UI. A slider would be nice!

Here's how I see it if I don't resize my window: http://i.imgur.com/WeV5K.png

On the other hand, today everybody has access to MOOCs, google, communities like HN, reddit, stackoverflow and organizations like MakeGamesWithUs.

I totally agree. If anything, 14 year olds have more free time to spend on their hobbies and can learn new things much more easily than adults.

> Granted the web as it exists today makes it infinitely easier to learn today than it was when I was a kid, but I'm not going to use that as an excuse. You should. It's not just G…

That's what I noticed too! I don't think there will ever be a merge, but they're definitely doing it on purpose. Brand awareness?

I meant older people didn't have that chance when they were my age. 15 years ago computers weren't that common. Nowdays, almost every child in the western world has access to a com…

It's interesting how the Instagram profile pages look kinda like facebook's. The cover photo, the layout and the way everything is arranged.

That doesn't make sense. Everybody knows that the number of views a post has is an integer, it doesn't really cause that much of a confusion for anyone. Most europeans are used to …

I sometimes see commas on YouTube's views count, seriously. I think it depends on your location.

> I'm pretty sure your age matters if it drastically deviates from the norm. No, it doesn't. Most people deviate from the norm on something. Age, gender, disabilities. So what? As …

> You didn't get to the front page. I did, but that's not the point. > Why do you think the problem is with the way that he describes his project, and not with the way that you des…

> Why are so many HNers being dismissive of this young fella? I feel like I should explain my reasons: He acts as if his age is very important in his accomplishment. Why is it in t…

> Because he's 14 and super stoked about accomplishing something that many people twice his age couldn't do So what? Why does age matter so much? A 28 year old may have less progra…

It's the number of neighbors each boid considers to calculate its velocity. There's also an option that defines the maximum distance for collision detection, but it's not accessibl…

Thank you! Do you think there's any way to not rewrite the entire thing?
