Everything could be more interesting

If only it were done in Unity.

Watching the video, it's very little code, and I would encourage you to write it in Unity or any other system! :-)

I'm not good with Unity 3d. I tried it before, it is very slow so maybe those who know Unity better can step in and make a 3d version of it.

Hi, I was thinking, how about making folders for each Programing language,
eg.

• C++
• JavaScript
• Python

so it's easier for new people and also it will give more space for each language to write more files in future if needed.

Thanks for the suggestion, I tried to move them to separate folders but it removed the contribute list, therefore, I reverted back. Also, I realized if do that, many links out there will become broken so for now I'll leave it like that. I think it won't be confusing as long as all the code are kept in one file per langauge

Hunar, my (admittedly unsolicited) advice:

Decide if you want to be managing unity, python, godot, etc. open source projects, especially reviewing code in languages you don't use. If you don't, then it'd be simpler for the hunar4321/particle-life project to be your project with c++ and js, and then link to unity, godot, python, and other versions. Then you don't have to spend the time reviewing the code submissions for languages you don't use.

For an example of this, https://github.com/mapbox/delaunator is a javascript project, and the author links to projects in other languages (rust, c++, c#, python, etc.). This is also better for people using that project, because the people wanting to contribute python don't have to worry about the c++ code mixed in the same project, etc.

@redblobgames
That is actually a great advice.
I'm definitely not a hardcore programmer and also not planning to take this project far beyond it's educational purpose.
So yes, that is a great idea Thanks!

By the way, someone has already ported the code to Godot Game Engine. Check his work out here. I'm sure people will soon do it in Unity as well.

I worked really hard on optimization of the C++ version, a unity version would be significantly slower.
I could make a faster version, using intel oneAPI, but it would reduce portability.
