So, after watching a video about the 3x+1 conjecture (The Simplest Math Problem No One Can Solve - Collatz Conjecture - YouTube), I decided to make a visualization of this problem by assigning the results of every step to the position for each block. Surprisingly, the result looks almost like protein folding, which is fascinating.
Let me know what you guys think, or some suggestions as well for this simulator.
Pretty cool and a neat way to show how sporadic it all is until it reaches the loop.
yoo I also made one a looooooooooong time ago. but it wasnt physical so ur ones nice.
Yea… I am kind of late for this, but the concept is amazing so can’t help it to try it out by myself.
I did something like this, but using 2 dimensional axis.’ This is quite cool, and a nicely done game!
I agreed! I also did 2 dimensional axis first, but I want to see how 3 axis would look like, therefore I made this. I might also think about making the 2 dimensional axis as a separate simulation, for better understanding of what’s going on compared to this chaotic 3 dimensional axis tbh.
(probably no need, because I already explained the idea in the game, but I will take note on that)
What if you made a way to have the person input a number?
That is a good idea, but for a separate simulation (maybe a 2D version). I personally don’t know how to manipulate/change my script for this game without breaking it (I’m not a professional scripter, sadly), so best to say, would implement in the 2D version. Thanks for your suggestion!
