From an Outbreak to an Epidemic

This online course introduces the topic of modelling and simulating epidemics. If you are interested in understanding how Mathematicians, Programmers and Data Scientists are studying and fighting the spread of diseases, this series of posts is what you are looking for.

The third, and final part of this course will focus on different strategies that can be used to explore different mechanisms of transmission, and possible interventions.

This online course is inspired by the recent COVID-19 pandemic. Now more than ever we need skilled and passionate people to focus on the complex subject of Epidemiology. I hope these articles will help some of you to get started.

All the revenue made from this article through Patreon will be donated to the National Emergencies Trust (NET) to help those most affected by the recent coronavirus outbreak. If you have recently become a patron for this reason, get in touch and I will add your contribution.

Simulating Epidemics

This is the second part of the online course dedicated to the modelling and simulating of epidemics. If you are interested in understanding how Mathematicians, Programmers and Data Scientists are studying and fighting the spread of diseases, this series of posts is what you are looking for.

In the second part, we will focus on ways to simulate epidemics. While the code here presented is in C# and runs in Unity, the knowledge can be applied to virtually any other language or engine.

Inverse Kinematics for Robotic Arms

After a long journey about the Mathematics of Forward Kinematics and the geometrical details of gradient descent, we are ready to finally show a working implementation for the problem of inverse kinematics. This tutorial will show how it can be applied to a robotic arm, like the one in the image below.

How to Use Shaders for Simulations

This series of tutorials will teach you how use shaders for simulations; in particular how to use them to simulate fluids. This first post will focus on how to continuously process a texture using a shader. This technique is at the heart of most simulations and will be used in this series to implement shaders that simulate smoke and liquids.

How to Write Native Plugins for Unity

Unity has the ability to import pieces of code written (and compiled) in other languages; they are called Native Plugins, and this tutorial will teach you how to build them.

Source codes:

How to generate Gaussian distributed numbers

In a previous post I’ve introduced the Gaussian distribution and how it is commonly found in the vast majority of natural phenomenon. It can be used to dramatically improve some aspect of your game, such as procedural terrain generation, enemy health and attack power, etc. Despite being so ubiquitous, very few gaming frameworks offer functions to generate numbers which follow such distribution. Unity developers, for instance, heavily rely on Random.Range which generates uniformly distributed numbers (in blue). This post will show how to generate Gaussian distributed numbers (in red) in C#.

I’ll be explaining the Maths behind it, but there is no need to understand it to use the function correctly. You can download the RandomGaussian Unity script here.

Console debugging in Unity made easy

One of the most interesting feature of Unity is the ability to extend its editor and standard components. This has allowed developers all around the world to create amazing extensions which dramatically improve Unity’s usability. And, in some cases, compensate for its shortages. A very intriguing feature which is not-so-well known is the ability to customise the messages in the debug console. Rather than give you a self proclaimed ultimate solution to console debugging, this post will cover different topics to help you creating your own.
