Arthur O’Dwyer - The Algebraic Structure of Infinite Craft

Arthur O’Dwyer is a C++ programmer and blogger who today joined us to talk about his musings on the algebraic structure of the popular web-game Infinite Craft. Infinite Craft is a clever little experiment in sandboxed exploration, and it turns out to give rise to a rather complex mathematical structure with some interesting background in theoretical CS. Arthur covered all this and more in his presentation, which was super interesting and a lot of fun to watch.
Note that unfortunately, we had a small technical hiccup wherein although everyone else could see Arthur's slides, I couldn't, and they did not get included in the recording. Some kind of unfortunate bug with Zoom ... sorry for the inconvenience!
