Having fast, reliable home internet is essential these days for work, school, streaming and browsing. But understanding how much speed you need, or even what "internet speed" even means, can be a daunting task. Bandwidth and latency are two key factors that affect how we perceive the speed of our internet connection.

Verlet Integration and Cloth Physics Simulation (2022)

Physics simulation in games (or simply game physics) is a vast topic, and in this post we'll cover only a tiny part of it; yet certainly an interesting one! Let's understand what Verlet integration is by implementing a simple 2D cloth simulation with C++. Physics in games is always fun, isn't it?

In the bottle processing plant in Reidsville, North Carolina, drifts of plastic particles, like snow banks, are piled in every nook of the machinery that chops the bottles into flake. When I ask our tour guide, a floor manager, if he worries about breathing it in, he says he doesn't.
