Built around the skeletal remains of the Godzilla that attacked Tokyo in 1954, Kiryu was an advanced cyborg designed to defend Japan from the kaiju that frequently menace it, particularly the current Godzilla. Kiryu first saw action in 2003 when he was deployed to battle Godzilla when he surfaced at Hakkeijima. However, Godzilla's roar awakened the original Godzilla's restless spirit that was attached to Kiryu's skeleton, causing the machine to go berserk. Kiryu was recalled and his programming altered so this incident could never occur again, then was sent out against Godzilla a second time when he landed at Tokyo. Kiryu fought Godzilla to a draw, leaving him with a gruesome chest wound and himself losing an arm. Kiryu was rebuilt over the course of a year, and sent into combat with Godzilla again when he returned to Tokyo. Kiryu fought alongside Mothra and her twin larvae, and finally triumphed against his organic counterpart by reopening the wound on Godzilla's chest.

Mount Clare is a five-part Georgian Palladian plantation house located at Carroll Park in Baltimore. It was built in 1754 and is the oldest standing structure in the city. Currently, the house operates as a museum and is undergoing reinterpretation by a [commission appointed in 2021](https://www.baltmccpc.com/) to study the enslaved, indentured and imprisoned laborers who lived and worked at Mount Clare and a nearby ironworks.

“We are excited to be helping to usher in a new era that will create the framework for the research, interpretation, physical discovery and promotion of programming centered on Black Ingenuity and the contributions of the enslaved at Mount Clare. We also seek to reestablish Mount Clare as a site for envisioning and executing forms of racial equity in Baltimore and beyond.”

-Dale Glenwood Green, Founding Co-Chair of the Commission

Stitch, also known as Experiment 626, is the beloved alien protagonist of Disney’s *Lilo & Stitch* franchise. Created by the mad scientist Dr. Jumba Jookiba to be a destructive force, this genetically engineered creature is small, blue, furry, and equipped with six limbs, sharp claws, and a penchant for chaos. 
Through Lilo’s unwavering kindness and her belief in “ohana” (Hawaiian for “family”), Stitch undergoes a profound transformation. Abandoning his destructive programming, he learns loyalty, empathy, and the true meaning of belonging. With his mischievous charm, boundless energy, and unexpected tenderness, Stitch becomes Lilo’s closest companion, defending his new family from threats while embracing the joys of ordinary life—surfing, hula, and loving unconditionally. A symbol of redemption and acceptance, Stitch proves that even the most “imperfect” beings can find their place in the world through love.

When Meetra Surik arrived on the Ebon Hawk, the dock officer stored cargo—including programming spikes—in the hold, noting it could only be opened with explosives. He was surprised mining droids had repaired the ship despite many miners being in med-bay after droid-caused accidents. Off shift, he saw droids fixing port stabilizers, likely under orders from HK-50, posing as a protocol droid. However, the navicomputer was voice-locked, preventing takeoff.

As accidents increased, an emergency lockdown began. The dock officer reached the dormitories and tried using a holo-transmitter to contact administration, but the console was cut off. Unable to break the seal, he failed to override the lockdown and sent weak distress signals beyond the asteroid field, hoping for rescue. By the time Surik awoke, toxic fumes had killed everyone in the facility.

I tried to simulate a galaxy with particle systems in C++ (using the reciprocical attraction between stars this time, which my [previous "static" test](https://skfb.ly/6JyVO) did not take into account), but a minor coding error resulted in the creation of a miniature rogue black hole in it... 

AAaaaaahhh, the joys of programming !

The animation still ended up looking fabulous, and although the download is quite heavy *( approximately 50k particles x 60 steps = 3M vertices )*, it seems to run very smoothly once loaded !

The Walker building, once the headquarters and manufacturing plant of Madam CJ Walker Hair Care and Beauty Products, boasts much of its original 1927 architecture.

The stage has seen the likes of Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole, Patti LaBelle, Michael Bolton, and Lena Horne perform, to our intimate Grand Casino Ballroom where local jazz greats like Rob Dixon and Clint Breeze and the Groove entertain – the Walker building still stands strong…a beacon of pride, hope, and the beauty that lies in diversity. Its presence and programming both ensure that we do not forget the significance of Madam CJ Walker, Indiana Avenue, or African-American cultural arts.

This model is the result of further programming experiments (C++) on my path to recreating space objects. 

If you're curious, here are a few clues about its creation :

* I initially scattered the stars in a disk-like fashion, and gave them a tangential initial rotation speed.
* The system is driven through a mix of gravitational forces and vorticity, but I had to create additional attractors in a rotating spiral pattern to emphasize the shape of the galaxy arms.
* Note that this "simulation" does not take into consideration the reciprocical attraction between stars (that would take way too long for now...).
* Computing 150 iterations for 50k particles and 54 forces (most due to the "spiral forcing")  took approximately 20 seconds on my laptop. 
* Each particle was colored in a range related to their initial distance to the center of the galaxy (red-ish in the center, blue-ish at the rim).

And [here](https://skfb.ly/6JBWp) is an animated example of the iterative process !
