The fact the author thinks every topic can be fit onto a rollercoaster tycoon-style analogy leads me to think they do not actually understand these topics very well.
- atroche 1mo agoFrom the article: > I proceed asking it to build a simulation of that topic in a low-poly, Rollercoaster Tycoon-like animation Sounds like the Rollercoaster Tycoon part is just referring to the aesthetics/graphics, and the author is just suggesting building a top-down isometric 2D animated simulation (which I agree is a bit limiting, there are definitely some things where you'd want to be able to fly around a 3D space in first person, move time back and forth, manipulate parts of it).
- phailhaus 1mo agoYeah that's the problem. Imagine trying to learn calculus as a top-down isometric 2D animated simulation. It doesn't make sense for the topic.
- laurentiurad 1mo agoCalculus probably not, but you can find other types of animations for it. Learning how web requests work definitely fits this animation type.
