leaving your comfort zone is hard, and that's natural.

To be honest i never did anything with lisp but i love just playing with it and doing some little things. I start doing something then i mess with elisp then i want to see how to do this thing then the other and in the end i do nothing. But its fun and it for sure beats vidya as thing to play with

Making a note-taking desktop application with Electron. Fully cross platform with cloud sync!

finally figured out how to "install" opengl. anyone have ideas for a first project using it?

Implement simulation of lorenz attractor. You literally have to only put pixels at specifix (x,y,z) so its simple. And you get to learn something fun

You lost me at Electron. As noble as your motives are, running a chrome instance for a single program is horrible.

i had a friend making procedural art with opengl. he'd take a couple particles, give them physical properties like gravity, and then they'd zip around each other changing color with velocity and interaction. usually looked dope

Exactly, and all that user needs for solving system is runge-kutta of some order which is trivial to implement. And it simulates chaos so its cool

simple and awesome, cant beat that

>glClear() and glEnd()
Wat?

My b.. Mean `glBegin(GL_POLYGON)` and `glEnd()`

It's working now, so yay for that.
