Moving on in reverse...

31 July 2023- Pushing out triangles!

Starting over...

Input a seed, please (the default is tau, or 2 pi), or click the button for a random seed number.

The page needs a number from which to generate some pseudo-random numbers.

This morning's prompt was 'cosmic baby rattle'.

Smaller triangle in the southern hemisphere...

30 July 2023- Initial Z Negative Triangle

I want to make an initial triangle in the Z negative hemisphere of my world so that I can add triangles on around to the 'front' of my world...
I need a seed, in this case derived from milliseconds since time began in 1970, or at least as far as Javascript is concerned.
(I will want to add an input to get seeds from the user)

This morning's prompt was 'star and planet formation'.

I've had a streak of old twenties guns, based on a book on old RPGs.

This morning's prompt was 'dot product'. Useful for finding concavities and the angle between two vectors.

This morning's prompt was 'cross product', (note the counter-clockwise winding)


I want to get the area from the cross product.

Definitely fixed, I think...

25 June 2023- My Prompts Utility!

This is a utility page for typing up a list of words for the next month.

This morning's prompt was 'cannibal galaxies'.


I need to fix my prompt utility tonight. (which I did!)

Going to fix this... Fixed?

25 June 2023- My Prompts Utility!

My new favorite cartoon is 'My Adventures With Superman'.

I'm working on a solo game...

This morning's prompt was 'moon lander'. I went with ALPACA, which was a great concept with terrible math...

Placeholder for some calendar stuff

22 July 2023- Calendar Stuff!

Working on revising my shetch prompt utility to show that days' prompt and the rest of the prompts in my inventory.

This morning's prompt is 'moon cookie'. I promptly found a kind which I didn't know of before, a half moon crescent, and drew the bog standard half and half and the horns...


In the meantime, I have been doing the design work on my planet accretion page which I have been failing to get done. The disk inventory is a list of bands of dust and gas which are subdivided and removed down to nothing, while filling up a list of planets and having collisions and eventually tacking happen.

The modified UV sphere tile laying code is another lazy bit which needs coding, finally, after literally years. That and the convex hull/landmass/seablob needs to be finished!!!

In close kernels

20 July 2023- Star System!

I'm just going to pop in the milliseconds for my PR# this time, dongma? 8-P
Mass Inventory varies quite a bit, and so does gas based on dust...
Going to start placing planet kernels. The kernels sweep out the accretion disk. If a kernel sweeps an empty bit, it can't accrete. If it intersects an existing planetary orbit, then it tends to get swept up, or maybe ejected!

PR# here

This morning's prompt was 'zagnut bar', from 'beetlejuice'.


Secret Alien Invasion... I just had a scientist making sense of why we see UFO's what the Alien Space Bats are really up to. This is an elaborate scheme for 'domesticating' humans, leading us to eventually become like them, whatever they actually are. It's an idea. I don't want to believe it, but I'm not part of the process, pretty obviously.

I'm splatting out a planetary system from some star with some mass, luminosity, and an accretion disk of some inventory of dust and gas by derived partially random system size, random dust density per linear distance and gas density derived from dust but also partially random; the star size is based on what the proto-star kept from it's siblings in some stellar nursery by size and density, and also gas might have been lost, blasted away by local interstellar flux, etc.

Now that I have some idea what the accretion disk is like, we can start to drop some proto-planet kernels into the disk to sweep up up dust and then gas, if the kernel gets big enough and if the proto-star doesn't blast it all away. So we start making planets and keeping track of them, and removing dust and gas from the inventory, until we have no more... So, how does this work? We pick a random orbit within the disk and the width of this orbital band which the kernel sweeps. This is a simplification and approximation of my understanding of how this works.

PTM Builder

19 July 2023- Polyhedral Triangle Mesh Builder!

Building a polyhedral triangle mesh. My world has a diameter in kilometers and in pixels and is made up of the triangle faces of a polyhedron which approximate the surface of my world. Use enough edges and triangles and it seems smooth...
I'm looking for some diameter and radius based on the size of my world...

Starter planet kernels in spaaace!

This morning's prompt is 'the hair', for which I was thinking about hair-based super powers...


A failed revolution in the 13 colonies would probably mean no French revolution, but troubles in France would lead to British meddling. No Napoleon, but likely some reform, with the monarchies limping along while the industrial revolution spreads more slowly without the Napoleonic wars. We get kingdoms in Mexico and South America when Spain loses its' grip on the local elites. Maybe even kingdoms of California and New Mexico, a Mormon republic of Deseret?

This morning's prompt is 'one page role-playing game', so I drew a bah and some honey for 'honey heist', which I might have drawn already.


I suppose I owe myself many more words...

Arr-xploration! This is an idea which I have had for a rather long ass time, maps from triangle fans or arcs.

This morning's prompt is, 'jump man'. Google offered me the man with a basketball.

15 July 2023- The GURPSification!

Coding a random GURPS character generator...

Attribues here

This morning's prompt was 'heart taker and breaker'.


I got my used copy of GURPS 3e or 2e,3rd printing, not clear. Chapter 14 is a helpful 2 page spread of random gurpsification, which I have always wanted to try and preferably code into a page, yeah!

Stars and Worlds, dust and gas...

14 July 2023- Stars and Worlds!

Back down the stars and worlds rabbit hole...
I'm thinking about using a star system class and maybe nesting things.
Anyway, down to dust and gas, okay?

This morning's prompt was 'clockwork Teddy Bear'. Not planning to un-alive you in your sleep at all... Actually, teddy bear defenders are a common archetype.


I was listening to Anton Petrov go on about stars and planet formation again and I guess I'm headed back down that rabbit hole...
Mass inventory of dust and gas!

Finally made a triangle...

7 July 2023- Convex Hull!!!

I have created a convex hull around some PR# points, and sorted the discarded border points into northern and southern hemisphere points which I will use to make landmass shapes in the north and the south...

Please input a seed or click Random!

The page needs a number from which to generate some pseudo-random numbers.

Galactic Coordinates

This morning's prompt is 'electric blanket'.


I finally made a triangle inside my convex hull, now I need to make a s#@$ tonne of triangle divs... But before I do that, make sure the points are uniformly distributed and unique!
