Smoothly accelerating with smoothstep() velocity.

Smoothstep is useful to gradually change a quantity or signal from one value to another. But when used for the velocity of an object, the resulting position of that object can behave in unintended ways, unless we do a bit of calculus.

I can't wait to eventually go down the graphics programming rabbit hole in game development - you are an inspiration for me to keep going with learning.

Thankyou

TIL position is the integral of velocity (which makes sense, if you think about it).

i used smoothstep like this to smoothely interpolate learning in a gradient descent algorithm

I think the smooth step looks more real. Cause the butterfly would need more energy to get off the ground and start flying. This also looks kind of funny cause butterflies have four wings.

Let's do some maths... when my brain starts to fail.

ok now put the butterfly in the matrix and make it dodge bullet with maths

iq: easy. i know just the 400 digit equation
