This is pretty well done!

Same issue here.

Fair enough. How about having the Cancel button minimize the thread if there are no responses?

Perhaps change the first one to "No Responses" by default.

The Like button does not appear for me on this particular thread at its permalink (http://www.hawkee.com/thread/10288).

Otherwise, very nice.

Edit: Also, I think the "Response" button for expanding should be different from the "Response" button for responding (ie. after pressing "Cancel"). See: http://i.imgur.com/hHtb7oD.png

I thought they were springs at first, but it looks like they just tend towards their positions by going a fraction of the distance each time step.

Still, 30,000 particles is pretty impressive for Javascript.

@Hawkee I had the same trend. All 3 of the things that Google won were development related.

I understand Google uses ad data on people to help filter results, so I wonder if Bing allows that in their bingiton challenge.

Try just http://www.bingiton.com/

I tried out Bing's blind test - http://www.bingiton.com/?form=BIOBIP&publ=BNPSERP&crea=769

Google won 3 to 2 for me.

I wasn't a big fan of the design either. It was hard to comprehend at times.

I think this will kick you for say "Firetruck"

I programmed all of the physics in Processing/Java.

With the exact same conditions, I would think so.

I made a 3D simulation of the Solar System... then hurled a sun-massed object through it

Mine's more of an equation.



It might seem trivial and silly at first, but it lets you do really amazing things really easily. Things like THIS and THIS!

More destruction of the solar system:

In my opinion, these are all turning out very beautifully.

Here's what the solar system would look like if we were to move the sun over by about 112 million miles (180 million km or 1.2 AUs).

Yep.

This is what the solar system would look like if a sun sized spaceship were to just casually pass through.

I always tell my friends that I'll do whatever they want if they pay me enough.

I rendered it overnight, so I'm not too entirely sure.

600,000 asteroid time lapse: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKq6iwJ4E4E

All of the asteroid data is at http://www.naic.edu/~nolan/astorb.html

This site was the most helpful in writing the algorithms: http://www.davidcolarusso.com/astro/

I'll likely be writing a how-to for astronomers and programmers at some point.

Every asteroid known to man. I'll be rendering a time-lapse pretty soon.

Very nice. Perhaps there should be at least some hover-text that labels it as "Likes earned"
