Comment Computer scientist? (Score 0) 185
You would think a computer scientist would notice the massive amount of shortcuts and simplifications that are needed to make even the current crop of simulations work. Has he never played any first-person games?
Try simulating ALL the interactions of a game of pool (vibration, chalk debris on surfaces, nap of the baize being altered, compression and return of the cue tip and cushions/bumpers over time etc) and see how much computing is needed.
