My wife, Jackie, is a medical student at UCSF, but this week she visited me! So far, we’ve had a ton of fun in Norfolk, and we have some great plans for the weekend.

I caught COVID at work earlier this year, so I ended up with a few weeks at home in isolation. In order to pass the time, I decided to try and learn a bit about the Unity game engine.

The 3D physics simulation within Unity reminded me a lot of the phase spaces in continuous dynamics, which I have studied a fair bit, so I felt up to the challenge.
