core.form-ula blog

Looks like this is a combo-blog of 7 different studios from Pratt, UPenn, and Stevens. Tons of content about computation, material science, graphics, etc. Also nice to get a sense of what other depts are up to, which they keep distinct with a handy color-coding system.

Meanwhile, the dynamics in the game engine is very satisfying. Architectural even. Why Fat Men Fall Down. Download the game here.
