I have yet to see a goto statement I like, but honestly, if a student showed me an elegant solution that used one, I'd be delighted. I'd probably make them show it to the class.
Just once I want to see it bring good into this world.

I wanted it to make me feel good but it didn't actually feel like anything at all. So I'm gonna go for a jog instead 😅

That's interesting. I'll take a look!

Oh I'll add to this, that the points begin randomly distributed on a sphere.
Starting 20 points at the centers of faces of an icosahedron was a stable state for the points, but when a single point was moved out of place a nontrivial amount, the whole set of points rearranged to the result above.

Happy to share files if you want to take a look. This was scripted in python inside blender. The script is really straightforward, knowing the method.

Results of face counts 8, 10, and 20 are interesting as they do not match the corresponding standard die shape. The 8 looks the way the d10 normally does, with opposing pyramids merged base-to-base and intersected. 10 and 20 are just weird and cool and I'm wondering if they're fair.

I simulated points pushing away from each other on the surface of a sphere to determine the location of faces for 4-20 points. These points became the normals for the faces of a die with that number of sides. For odd numbers it's not clear how you would label the number result.

I don't know how that was made, but if you wanted to replicate it in blender I'd do an orthographic camera and a bright white area light somewhere above it. Experiment with size/distance/strength of the light.

Could be but I couldn't immediately find other such references. Could also be December '98

I didn't even know you could embed a function with arguments into a bash script
Someday I may have to learn bash but (especially given whatever is going on here) it is not this day 😅
