Added a convolution kernel filtering operator for polygons/polylines to https://thi.ng/geom, incl. some useful preset kernels: box filter, triangle, gaussian, all with configurable size...
The image shows effects of various kernel sizes & iterations. Unlike with subdivision smoothing, here each version has the exact same number of vertices, only their positions are impacted: orange = box, magenta = triangle, blue = gaussian
(For now the operator is only implemented for polygons (also w/ holes) & polylines, but can be extended to other shape types...)
So many new and improved features (+ new shape types) coming to https://thi.ng/geom (more about those soon) — for now a new tiny example to show point classification (inside/boundary/outside) for polygons:
Scientists calculate that four specific tests (out of almost 500) were responsible for the majority of the radioactive fallout deposited downwind of the Polygon nuclear test site in Kazakhstan (the primary test site of the former USSR).

About to rip #polygon out of my #rss reader. They keep posting #zelda walkthroughs piece-by-piece every fucking hour since before that damn game came out and I'm tired of wading through it.
I'm not one for "New Year's resolutions", but I am one for overly ambitious projects.
For 2023, Project365 is "One New Game Per Day".
Given that I have 634 unplayed games in my Steam account and {mumble} unredeemed bundle Steam keys, there's a reason my unplayed collection is tagged "Pile of Shame".
I'll pin this to my profile, and give a brief summary here each day (or x, if I miss x days due to work or stuff).
I'll play 15-30 minutes of (at least) one new game I've never played before (or played less than 15 minutes of). I'll give every game at least 15 minutes, even if I hate every minute of it.
I'm also open to suggestions; if you reply to this thread with a game, I'll schedule it, or tell you what I thought of it.
One of the things that's come up is that I have a bunch of games that I've played once, and not touched again.
