AI Dungeon 2 a game based on OpenAI.

The OpenAI is a toolkit for developing and comparing reinforcement learning algorithms.
It supports teaching agents everything from walking to playing games.
The AI Dungeon 2 is an online game run by a text generation program.
This program is capable of responding to basically any command with a coherent response built on OpenAI’s text production system.
You can start by selecting the game genre: fantasy, mystery, apocalyptic, zombies, custom.
The creator Nick Walton is running a Patreon campaign so he can work on the project full time and add new features like voice support.
It’s currently raising around $15,000 a month.
You can try it online on this webpage.
If you have an apple device then use the App Store.
If you use an Android device then you can download it from Google Play.

Copernicus Open Access Hub online tool.

Looking at our planet and its environment For the ultimate benefit of all European citizens... The Open Access Hub provides complete, free and open access to Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2, Sentinel-3 and Sentinel-5P user products... 
Copernicus builds on a constellation of satellites making millions an impressive number of daily observations, as well as on a global network of thousands of land-, air- and marine-based sensors to create the most detailed pictures of Earth. The technological evolution, especially in terms of availability and accessibility, has made Copernicus the largest space data provider in the world, currently producing 12 terabytes per day. 
The vast majority of data and information delivered by the Copernicus Space infrastructure and the Copernicus services are made available and accessible to any citizen and any organization around the world on a free, full and open access basis. You can access Copernicus Data and Information Services through the DIAS or the Conventional Data Hubs...

Shadertoy: The sin math function - 001.

Another example with shadertoy online tool.
The example come with all comments to understand how the sine function is show on shadertoy website.

MakeHuman: Nightly builds of (most) plugins.

At 11/18/2019 the MakeHuman team development comes with many plugins for MakeHuman software: These are plugins related to MakeHuman. The MakeHuman side plugins are installed by placing the directory (for example "9_export_mhx2") in the "plugins" directory where you unzipped or installed MakeHuman. On linux this is usually /usr/share/makehuman/plugins. The Blender side plugins are installed in Blender, in the addons part of the user preferences.

Lutris the Open Source gaming platform for any Linux distro.

Lutris is an Open Source gaming platform for Linux. It installs and launches games so you can start playing without the hassle of setting up your games. Get your games from GOG, Steam, Battle.net, Origin, Uplay and many other sources running on any Linux powered gaming machine.
You need to create an account and you can run many games on Linux and multiple platforms, see the official website with games.
If you want to install it with your Linux distro the take a look at the official webpage.
I used the installation process on Fedora 31 with DNF tool:

[root@desk mythcat]# sudo dnf install lutris

The wrld for custom maps.

A good map can have many features.
If you don't want to build one using advanced programming language then you can use this website.
You can use this with an online map with Unity, JavaScript, iOS and Android.
You can also build your indoor map and visualize any building in 3D.
All of these features let you optimize building management, resources, and planning.
The map can have many features like time of day, weather and seasons and heat map.
The next example is an outdoor map of my location.

Shadertoy: The flag of Romania - 002.

This is another step about learning shaders.
The old example can be updated with this source code.
I commented on the source code to see step by step how this working.
One way to understand how this working to the final result is to going back on the shader structures that generate output to the basic elements of the shader.
If we apply this case to solve the problem then from the display a color like a vec4 color for fragColor adding a sin function to wave the result, and so on.
Right, this code can be optimized in many ways depending on the result.

// learning process area step by step 
// the gl_FragColor is a vec4 type of float values in the range 0 to 1.
// because the values are from 0 to 1  this can used in many ways with for domain and range
void mainImage( out vec4 fragColor, in vec2 fragCoord )
{
    // Normalized pixel coordinates (from 0 to 1)
    vec2 uv = fragCoord/iResolution.xy;
    // define a vec2 and uv can be divide to create waves 
    // use this to see the difference 
    // vec2 valul = vec2(0.01,1.0);
    vec2 valul = vec2(0.5,1.0);
    // define a vec2 this vector will be the vector of shadow
    vec2 unghi_valul = vec2(0.5,1.0);
    // this float will speed the animation with iTime
    float viteza = 3.0;
    // with the dot we can calculate the dot product of two vectors and result can be a shadow
    // the result of unghi can be changed when change the vectors and vectors math rules
    float unghi = dot(uv/valul, unghi_valul) - iTime * viteza;
    // the output can be used with sin to create a shadow wave
    // fill the screen with red
    fragColor = vec4(1,0,0,0) * sin(unghi);
    // fill the 2/3 of size with yellow color
    if(uv.x<(1.0/1.5))
    fragColor = vec4(1,1,0,0)  * sin(unghi);
    // fill the last 1/3 with the blue color 
    if(uv.x<1.0/3.0)
    fragColor = vec4(0,0,1,0)  * sin(unghi);
}

The result of this source code:

Shadertoy: The flag of Romania - 001.

Today I make the flag of Romania.
About this flag you can read at Wikipedia.
The goal of this simple tutorial is to learn the link between iResolution and the fill areas.
First, you need to normalized pixel coordinates from 0 to 1.
The gl_FragColor is a vec4 type of float values in the range 0 to 1.
We can use this property by fill the areas of the screen.
The example can be changed to use the RGBA.
The source code is this:

void mainImage( out vec4 fragColor, in vec2 fragCoord )
{
    // Normalized pixel coordinates (from 0 to 1)
    vec2 uv = fragCoord/iResolution.xy;
    // Output to screen
    // fill the screen with red
    fragColor = vec4(1,0,0,0);
    // fill the 2/3 of size with yellow color
    if(uv.x<(1.0/1.5))
    fragColor = vec4(1,1,0,0);
    // fill the last 1/3 with the blue color 
    if(uv.x<1 .0="" code="" fragcolor="vec4(0,0,1,0);">

This is the result of this shader:

The neon effect with javascript P5 JavaScript library.

The P5.js is a JavaScript library for creative coding.
You can use by adding this link on your HTML area using the script tag:

https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/p5.js/0.9.0/p5.min.js

You can use it like any JavaScript library.
You have two functions: setup and a draw for setup and drawing.

function setup() {
  createCanvas(window.innerWidth, window.innerHeight);
}

function draw() {
  ellipse(50, 50, 80, 80);
}

Then you can fill these functions with any javascript code.
You can see a neon effect with two bezier functions.
The example uses the mouse movement to change the bezier lines.
You can see many examples created by me at codepen website.
