I saw this online somewhere and I just had to recreate it. This is my coding happy place.

@bbcmicrobot @rheolism I think you posted a much better version at the time, if you still have it...

@bazzargh @rheolism i knew someone had just couldn’t remember who…

@bbcmicrobot @bazzargh i wanna see a minecraft attempt.

go 3d, someone

@vnglst I went through my twitter archive (not on there any more) and I'd said back then it was inspired by this: twitter.com/CasualEffects/stat which in turn copied some pico8 program (I don't have a link further back)

X (formerly Twitter)morgan (@CasualEffects) on X

@bazzargh nice find! I think the principle opens up many other variants. Multiple balls (earth, wind, fire and water?) adding gravity, resistance, bouncing.

But then again simple is probably best.

@vnglst for me, simple was a necessity - I omitted the two bats because I couldn't fit the code for that into a single tweet! The same would apply to the pico8 original; it's what I like about this stuff, coding with constraints makes you think hard to get anything done
