The Pathfinders Codex

@UCvxVSH7INLpCPGEvWhPHpSg - 1K subscribers

A mix of nerdy development content. From beginner basics to advanced techniques - mostly in Godot Game Engine. Open source available: github.com/ThePathfindersCodex Development tutorials, astronomy and science concepts in code, and more - exploratory programming to learn new things - visualizing coding concepts and algorithms - development logs (with code snippets, walk throughs, prototypes, and code repositories on GitHub). - cellular automata, artificial life, emergent properties, and more. I'm not an expert in any of this... not a mathematician or a scientist... I just love tinkering with this kind of stuff. Hope you enjoy!
