Thank you for everything Daniel, you have such a wonderful soul.

This is the Coding Challenge video with the highest quality so far: well scripted narrative, lots of tips and logical arguments, an easy to follow and well organized code. Also, the part about how to set up the html and the imports is very appropriate. The video edition also superb.

This goes to show your experience making these videos, and also dedicating so much time to the book possibly has an impact on your story-telling style, for the better.

I just started learning coding. After finding your content it is like a breath of fresh air! You make it seem so fun! The ability to do anything with a computer is really cool and powerful. Thanks for your videos.

Thank you, Daniel, your videos always make me happy!

When I watch your videos, I feel you talk to me, not just saying something, but actually talking to me, like I'm a child. But not at all in the negative sense. Your instructions are clear, friendly and unassuming. I hope you either have kids or will some day because I'm sure they'll turn out as marvelously curious little beings.

Little bit of a weird post, I know, but this is just how I like to express my gratitude.

This is amazing! this came in clutch when I've been researching simple way to create softbody physics. Thank you for this!

I like how i can watch all coding challenges, even those from 6 years ago and litterally the only thing that changed is his hair color (and this is the best thing that could happen)

[richardsymes]

So good to see you back and with another interesting challenge.

[Sayamak]

Daniel really is a great educator and entertainer. Thank you Sir for your videos and especially The Nature of Code where I am currently enjoying the chapter about fractals.

[niczoom]

Super clear explanations. I learn something new every video watched!

[RedEyedJedi]

OMG you're writing a new version of the nature of code :D I have the original and its my favourite book by a mile.

I receive every video of the Coding Train as it was a Christmas gift and I was 5 years old !
I'm so happy and excited !

[WilderPoo]

Amazing! Thank you for really demystifying soft body physics. I thought it would be much more complicated than a few springs 😄

[Haapavuo]

Greetings from Finland! 🇫🇮 That is where you inspiration came from this time! 😉

[PeranMe]

Oooh, new NoC version! Pardon my drooling here...

[kapilishere]

It was fun to watch, I'd definitely code my own squishie character!

[Parasbhattarai]

❤❤love everything done for us and teaching in. Such a cool way❤❤❤

[AaronAsherRandall]

I have always loved your videos! I am a novice game programmer in C# and Unity, it seems like a lot of these tools in Javascript could be expanded to make games with complex physics and graphics in the browser!

[chopstix]

its been too long since a coding train video ;-; thank you!!!

[parkeranderson]

Soft body physics... my doctor has been wanting me to work on this!😉
