Well, this was quite a marathon!! It's a video all about universal functions. I wanted to create an accessible video explaining what a universal function is. I'm not sure it's particularly accessible now that it's made, but it does have a sweet pacifist speed run of DooM2E1M1. So that's always nice in low-level a computer science video :)

Anyway, thank you for the support!! It really does mean a lot to me :) I have written an e-book for this video and I will upload shortly. It might take some time as I have to do some database admin in the next few days, but keep an eye out.

Cheers all, have a good one :)

That unbelievable function that can compute EVERYTHING! An Adventure in Discrete Mathematics

Well, this is a video all about 0's and 1's. Rather a lot of them really. It's about universal operations and exploring how very simple sets of operations can be used to theoretically compute anything at all. All images from Wikipedia.
