Insights Orbital Mechanics in Unity Game Engine for Augmented Reality - Comments

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a new PF Insights post by Greg Bernhardt that explores the application of orbital mechanics within the Unity game engine for augmented reality. Key highlights include an emphasis on the importance of scaling factors in program design, which are interdependent and require careful consideration. Participants share their experiences with Unity, noting a simulation of Challenger Deep that allows users to navigate the canyon using Oculus Rift and Android tablet implementations. Comparisons are made to a similar project developed in C++ with OpenGL, utilizing the Velocity Verlet integration method.

Great insight! I especially liked the description of scaling factors and how they a codependent on one another requiring a more nuanced program design.

Unity is awesome, we did a unity simulation of Challenger Deep where the user could fly through the canyon using an Oculus Rift for one implementation and similar code for an Android tablet implementation.

Thread 'Is this public key encryption?'

I've tried to intuit public key encryption but never quite managed. But this seems to wrap it up in a bow. This seems to be a very elegant way of transmitting a message publicly that only the sender and receiver can decipher. Is this how PKE works? No, it cant be. In the above case, the requester knows the target's "secret" key - because they have his ID, and therefore knows his birthdate.

Thread 'Project Documentation'

Thread 'Project Documentation'

Trying to package up a small bank account manager project that I have been tempering on for a while. One that is certainly worth something to me. Although I have created methods to whip up quick documents with all fields and properties. I would like something better to reference in order to express the mechanical functions. It is unclear to me about any standardized format for code documentation that exists. I have tried object orientated diagrams with shapes to try and express the...
