> FWIU e.g. panda3d does not have a react or rxpy-like API, but probably does have a component tree model?
Is there a react-like api over panda3d, or are there only traditional events?
The redux DevTools extension also works with various non-react+redux JS frameworks.
Manim has a useful API for teaching. Is there a good way to do panda3d with a manim-like interface, for scripting instructional design? https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/issues/3362#issuecom...
In Pyxel: A retro game engine for PythonThe real curve has the fraction inverted:
y ≤ x / (x+t)
This equation only fits the first part of the curve, i.e. x ≤ 1-t. Here t is a time parameter, ranging from 0 at the start to 1 when everything is fully sorted.
The other videos created by the same author are equally impressive, beginning with straightforward explanations and gradually advancing to complex topics such as gamma and digamma functions [0]. These videos fully grasp the capabilities of Grant Sanderson's Manim library to enhance their visual appeal and educational value [1].
