Nicky's work is a joy and a blessing - one of a small number of great artists and creators online playing with systems and simulations in attempt to educate people through experimentation and play.
Other people worth checking out:
- Bret Victor (worrydream.com)
- Kevin Simler (https://meltingasphalt.com/)
- the "explorables" subreddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/explorables/)
If anyone else can recommend other writers or makers in this area, I'd love to hear about them! It's an area that I really enjoy and I hope to contribute to when I have a bit more free time.
[edit] also I'm happy about the fact that Nicky's work often has to do with systems theory, which is one of the biggest remaining frontiers of human understanding in the universe.
