ha ha ha, outer space is a simulated fluid.

with that assumption, it gets easier to build an eye observing an eye....observing an eye observing a thing.

Neural network learning models are good, but it scales well only when NN watches a NN watching an NN being trained with a data.

all these simulators out there and still not one remake of plasma pong

I truly miss this game sometimes. Is it still available anywhere?

The rights owners for pong (Atari?) had it and any mirrors they could find taken down.

A quick search suggests that there are downloadable copies out there. 1.3c was the latest release. Check WayBackMachine from 2007-Sep-13 (https://web.archive.org/web/20070913204145/http://www.plasma...) or older if you want more info, after that the site is an "Atari told us to take this down" message for a while and is currently held by someone else talking about other games.

Tangentially related: For a long time I've always been looking for some software for particle simulations that is free or even open source, easy to get started, and at least somewhat visual. I'm not doing anything like that professionally, just want to play around with a virtual wind tunnel for the fun of it. I'm thinking of something like Blender where I would click together a 3d mesh, "turn on" wind and see what happens.

Does anyone have tips or hints? Are my expectations perhaps unrealistic? I looked into OpenFOAM before but always eventually gave up, as it seems quite heavy on headless, scripted simulation, and would need some significant run-up time.

At first I expected this to be some new version, but nope, it's the original. I love that this repo[0] hasn't been touched significantly in 6 years and it's still going strong. [0] https://github.com/haxiomic/GPU-Fluid-Experiments

Given that the original commit is clearly a giant copy&pasta from somewhere else, not surprised there is little development or changes as time goes on

Oh, my bad, this the copy&pasta one https://paveldogreat.github.io/WebGL-Fluid-Simulation/
