The sculpture at Metrostation Weesperplein honors the old “Weesperpoortstation” (1843–1939), the former railway station from which to depart to Utrecht and Arnhem. Carved in sandstone, this artwork was erected in 1941.

Created by architect Piet Kramer in the ‘Amsterdamse School’ style, it displays three layered historical locomotives representing the railways’ evolution. 🚂🚃🚄

The first steam train between Amsterdam and Haarlem (sept. 20, 1839) drove at the speed of 30 km/h and was pulled by a locomotive called “De Arend”. In 1908, the country’s first electric train took off between Rotterdam Hofplein and Scheveningen Kurhaus. It was powered by a 10,000-volt AC system from a dedicated power plant. 🔋⚡️

The first diesel train followed in 1934, running from Amsterdam to Arnhem. 🚂💪

The Basics of Sonic Physics
The (very most barest) basics are explained in this five-minute video from Game Facts Special:

The (impossibly detailed) specifics are on Sonic Retro. Warning: you have no idea.

Can I summarize them briefly? Not really, but here's the basics. The tiles link to a list o

Imagine how unstable a fusion combustion engine would be?

The premise would be that you'd have 3 pistons, each feeding a crank shaft connected to a generator.

You'd also have this underwater or some other coolant as to siphon the heat away, maybe add a turbine to the shaft to help move the liquid away from the pistons.

The first combustion either blows up everything, rips the shaft apart, or provides just enough force to force the next piston to combust.

Godot 4.4 was released. In this version there are improvements to Shadowmasks for LightmapGI.

By enabling shadowmasks while baking your lightmaps, it is now possible to use static shadows in the distance and dynamic shadows up close. The lower resolutions far away will save precious resources, while the level of detail close to the player is not impacted.

Godot 4.4 was released. This version brings some improvements to the camera3D preview. Adjusting a Camera3D is now much less of a chore. Enjoy a preview of its capture directly in the inspector, without having to open another viewport or switching back and forth anymore.

Godot 4.4 released. This version intergrades the Jolt Physics Engine into Godot.

The Jolt extension has been used as the de facto physics engine by many Godot developers since its inception in late 2022, so it only made sense to integrate it into the engine directly. Jolt Physics itself is actually a standalone open source physics engine and its creator helped immensely with the Godot bindings.

Godot 4.4 released. This version brings typed dictionaries.

Typed dictionaries are coming to Godot. This impacts the core engine, GDScript, and all other scripting languages when interfacing with Godot’s Dictionary type.

The Inspector UX has been improved accordingly, to let you assign the right keys and values directly in the editor.
