While i studied gamedev as a programming exercise, what i find more interesting is simulating physical reality. :D

@BillySmith @eniko
That seems like a semi-permeable boundary at least, given how richly games lately incorporate simulation. Do you feel that you could easily stand with a foot in both camps. Almost like you were multi-classing? Or does it feel like a seperate endeavor when doing physical simulations?

Also, what kind of sims are you doing? I have a hobby level, spectator interest in astrophysics and their field of simulations (especially for trying to understand star & galaxy formation, etc.).
