"This ant is too indecisive and not making much progress in its life" felt like a roast ngl
-
"Come to think of it, I could have just taken two minutes to draw this in paint but... anyway..." - Spoken by a true programmer!
-
Ants: "haha that's cute they sometimes make little loops" Slime: ＊in awe before the grandeur of existence and the universe＊
-
The Slime simulations has to be one of the most amazing things I have seen in a long time. I got goosebumps when the first one broke off and started expanding.
-
Sebastian Lague video starter pack: - "I just whipped this quick & simple thing together" - compute shaders - darkmode theme - video ends before you want it to
-
I was genuinely mesmerised by those slime shaders, it’s incredible how complex, beautiful patterns can be made from seemingly simple rules. Emergence really is a universal phenomenon
-
Anyone else also wishing we could keep the slime patterns for wallpapers :D It looks amazing!
-
i have finally managed to code the slime mold simulation myself like sebastian did after being inspired by this video after ive seen it about 1.5 years ago! always wanted to try to recreate this mesmerizing simulaiton myself and got it working in the end!

“This ant is too indecisive and not making much progress in life.” ....

Boss: Make an efficient short path search algorithm Sebastian Lague: Done, here's an ant and a slime simulator Boss: ...

16:58 this looks like some sort of organically grown future display technology up close. So cool!
-
Currently re-watching all these old Coding Adventures videos, and I can safely say this is one of, if not my favorite YouTube series ever. Amazing work!
-
I need a Netflix series that is basically this level of production and explanation for various algorithms.
-
When Sebastian says "there's much more to explore here" I cry everytime
-
4:04 The attention to detail in your videos is just breathtaking. Timing that to the hit in the music is incredible
-
For real, I could cry with the 14:07 experiment, it was so beautiful to watch and see it evolving with the music, very touching!! I just admire you my friend!
-
Before: "Oh look a new Sebastian Lague video" After: "I should really learn compute shaders..."
-
Probably my favourite series on youtube. Keep up the great work!
-
Literally creates the beginning of existence and forms the universe "So, these have been pretty interesting..."
-
Devoting hours to develop a complex solution to something that already had a simple solution ready to go, and completely rewriting your existing code to produce a different version of imperfection are the hallmarks of a programming mind!
