What's the weirdest thing in english?

Reply in thread

Though on the topic of the definite article, as a kid I found articles in general to be weird as my native language has none, so there were just these "untranslatable" words in front of some nouns for some reason

Funny you mention this, cuz I have been trying to learn japanese lately and it not having articles is a big obstacle for me.

I made a three.js game about keeping a water bottom upside down

For mobile users: please decrease the sensibility to around 0.2.

For those interested on how I made the game:

I have always wanted to make an arcade game like Tetris, space invaders and pac man. You know, games that are simple but can be replayed forever?

But the idea of a game about keeping a pendulum upside down only came up when I saw a video of a robot doing it. It was a car and it moved to the left and right so that the pendulum never got too close to falling.

The hardest part was the ui. I'm very bad with ui for some reason Maybe I'm just bad with css.

In order to make it a little more than just a bottle in front of a black screen I needed to add backgrounds, so I learned how to program a shader with the website shadertoy.

Making shaders is surprisingly easy and fun, although I struggled at first.

That's about it.
