Interested in software/creativity/physics/philosophy/ML. First degree Physics. More recent MSc in AI. Looking at ways to use it in .NET MAUI based phone/tablet projects. Three published so far - one educational and two games. Educational physics sim next.
...and it's easy to show that removing one source and adding a reflecting barrier also creates an interference pattern, this time between the source and its reflection. The cross-section view can be used to examine this.

In my #TeachPhysics app written using #DotNetMAUI, you can easily add 2 sources of circular ripples and show how spacing of interference fringes changes with the spacing of the sources. Wide sources = narrow fringe spacing. Close sources = wide fringe spacing...

#TeachPhysics app written using #DotNetMAUI now has a help section explaining the controls. I'm hoping to get it released by Christmas. Still needs a bit of work.

#PhysicsEducation app written using #DotNetMAUI now has working circular and straight dippers with variable amplitude and wavelength. Objects can be added and removed. Just need to fix the title bar and do load/save of ripple tank state so some standard wave phenomena can be shown.

More work on the next #DotNetMAUI app - an educational #physics game. Dippers, barriers and cross-sections can be moved around the ripple tank to create and observe various wave phenomena. Buttons at the bottom will be used to add objects.

Here's work on the next #DotNetMAUI app - an educational physics game. Check out those classic twin-slit interference fringes naturally emerging from the simulation.

My next app developed using fantastic cross-platform system #DotNetMAUI, will be Wordy Blob. Building a diverse portfolio of apps, from Geology (Plate Tectonics Simulator), to games (Maxwell's Demon and Wordy Blob) and on to physics education (Wavicle).

The .NET MAUI game is getting there. Still needs more work on the gameplay.

The .NET MAUI game is getting there. Maybe another couple of weeks' development before submitting to Google Play Store. Still needs some work on the gameplay.

How do you get the red and blue balls into the right places? Another possible level for the evolving .NET MAUI game. Introducing big balls blocking little balls.

A video of the Win Forms utility app. I wrote it for designing the levels in the game - positioning the collections of balls and the various shaped walls that they bounce off. I'll put a devlog on YouTube at some point.

Following on from plate tectonics, next app: a game, but still with a scientific theme. Here's some very early work.

Genuary day 21: "Create a collision detection system (no libraries allowed)". Simple collisions between equal sized circles or spheres. Core code and explanatory diagram under the circles to which the code is applied.
