Sebastian Lague cave code ported by David Snyder

[SebastianLague]

Really enjoyable video (as always)!
And thanks for the mention :)

Hey you mentioned Sebastian Lague's video in description!! I love his coding adventures

[Jabrils]

Man. I am back for more because this format is so refreshing. 😌

[Lep_]

I really hope there are people here that haven't yet heard about Sebastian just so that they may now have the pleasure of finding his content for the first time. This channel and his are what keep me invested in programming as a form of expression.

"I must align all of the spacing here"

My teacher in highschool HATED when I always did that. I still do it to this day

I followed along with this. I've been "coding" as a hobby since 1983 (when you had to do a little coding to even get a PC to work). I gave up trying to keep up with the latest programming languages around the late 90s - early 2000s, although I am a C# fan (don't hate me--it's cheap). I'm a salty old man, now, but I appreciate your content. You make programming fun again.

This one was especially fun--Marching Squares/Cubes is a concept I'd never heard of. Still, the potential applications (such as the mentioned Sebastian Lague's excellent series on cave generation) interested me.

I tried doing some of the further challenges here and figured out for myself an algorithm for linear interpolation. It took me two days, but it was great fun. I had so much fun that I joined. Thanks, Dan.

After a long week at the keyboard hammering out web code for hospitals, I love these videos to relax my brain. Thank you, sir.

[CptCredible]

So glad I'm not the only one constantly looking up switch statement syntax in different languages.

The happiness with which you code is a life goal

[ast_rsk]

This was crazy cool! I love that you managed to fill in all the examples as you mentioned them-- this is a really high quality video!

[FiveArc]

I loved the part where you made all the spacing even

[khalidsakka]

I love how everyone else in the comment section liked the video as much as i did. really brilliant how well made it is.

[gustavoandre]

I watch your videos for over 5 years, I love your videos, your didactics, you concern for explain, etc. please don't stop it.

[jcasp]

this has gotta be possibly my fav vid of yours, this is so insanely cool, especially all the different variations of visualizing it

[rlenclub]

this is probably the most optimal setting for any job involving sitting in-front of a computer

[cabra]

I kind of liked when the mic was in the table and I could hear more of the background noise. It made me feel like I was there in the Cabana too. Great video, as always!

[anasadeelallawala]

I wish YouTube had a option to like a video multiple times because this video truly deserves it.

[Ellehsdee]

Literally my favorite YouTube personality. Thank you for being awesome!

[wixic]

Gotta be the most wholesome coding YouTuber
