I never knew that redis can be extended for geo. This is really cool.

I researched geodb a while back and I only found PostGIS but I recently found out that elastic search also supports geo features.

Shameless plug - This is the simple API I built on top of PostGIS https://github.com/moo-mou/GeoGo

Ah. An oversight on our part, we will make it MIT licensed so feel free to do whatever you want with it.

The code should have no dependency other the standard go library.

You should see an output.png if it run successfully in the same folder.

Sorry, no easy access to a windows right now, but I will try it out on when I get a chance.

For me, going through wikipedia article on phong and working out the math with my friends (instead of just blindly translating the equations to code) really helped me understand the basics.

In order to learn more (I admittedly know very little about anything other than the phong model - the other friend is much more knowledgable), I presume either a textbook or a course notes like this https://www.student.cs.uwaterloo.ca/~cs488/notes.pdf will probably help.

Wrote this with friend as a learning project for golang. Any golang tips would be much appreciated.

Out of curiosity, how well would these model work on computer generated graphics (say Skyrim)?

My gut feeling says it will work but I am curious if the model need to be trained separately for those.

Thanks for the idea. I definitely see feedback loop as one potential major case for this.

Another idea I was thinking about is altering the music the programmer is playing in some way instead of generating music.

Agreed. I am working on putting up documentation on how to set it up and get it running locally. There is still tons of work to be done though.

I deliberately chose to release as early as possible to find out if what people think of the project since I tend to have a tendency of taking forever to get feedback.

I now realise that there was actually a link to the Github repo, couldn't find it before. You might want to place it in a better position since I didn't see it at all first.

Oops. Looks I missed a push to Github.

But in theory, any soundfont file will do. There is a bunch of sound fonts here:

Right. I wasn't sure about that one too.
