Introduction
Some fun stuff… Atari, FDTD Computer Simulations and the obligatory page of Feynman quotes.
The Atari Years
A long time ago, at a company far far away…
My days at Atari. “Star Raiders” , “Solaris” and “Pokey” .
- The Atari Years – Atari, Pokey and Star Raiders and more…
- The Pokey Chip Story – A story about designing the Pokey Chip.
- The Solaris Manual Story – Yet another Atari years story. How the Solaris manual came to be.
- Atari Star Raiders – Some trivia and remembrances about the Star Raiders game design.
Finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) Modeling
“You don’t understand something, until you can program it; that is, until you can communicate it to that ‘speedy idiot’.” — Professor Robert W. MacCormack, Stanford
Finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) is a computer modeling technique to simulate Maxwell’s Equations. Maxwell’s Equations describe the physical laws of Electromagnetics (at the classical level).
The FDTD method belongs in the general class of grid-based differential time-domain numerical modeling methods. The time-dependent Maxwell’s equations are discretized using central-difference approximations to the space and time partial derivatives.
Included, are FDTD demos using the Maxwell Curl Equations and also the second order “Wave Equations.”
