I wrote a 2+1D special relativity simulator. It takes a Flatland spacetime volume in a rest frame and shifts it into a moving frame.

It's simple, but it's the first self-driven project I've ever completed, and it's also in a sense the first bit of "real physics" I've done.

(Next month: porting it to C from Java, so that I can actually run the thing without crashing my computer.)

Something like this?

... yes. Exactly like that.

Oh well. It's good physics/programming practice, and I have a generalized way to put sprites into the sim so customizability is nice.

Oh, and thanks for showing me that - grumpiness about nothing-new-ness aside, that's actually a really awesome game.
