This is a collection of books. However, if I’m remembering correctly, each book in the collection can be read separately. They do not depend on the previous entries.

Whenever anyone asks which book setting I wish I could live in and explore, this is my answer: The Culture, by Ian M. Banks. Each book describes a fascinating universe with complex politics and relatively unique powers/characters.

Oh wow! I totally forgot about this! I found this gallery years ago. I took a shot at coding the “Substrate” family of images in Processing. It was super fun and the results were beautiful.

Thanks for sharing this!

I get way more use out of Doubly Connected Edge Lists (DCEL) than I ever thought I would when I first learned about them in school.

When I want to render simple stuff to the screen, built-in functions like ‘circle’ or ‘line’ work. But for any shapes more complicated than that, I often find that it’s useful to work with the data in DCEL form.
