BuildingBlocks - Forces

BuildingBlocks - Forces

I use GPT4o generated code on DALL-E and Cosmic Dream generated images 💀, slicing and dicing them into tiles and blocks. I'm still learning game design in Godot so go easy. This is a pet project for me with a lot to explore. I most like the 2:1 isoBlocks.

Most assets are cut from 1024x1024px images and packaged as full tilesets:

• sqrTiles: 256 square tiles (64x64px)
• isoTiles11: 256 sqrTiles flopped and rotated 45 degrees (92x92px)
• isoTiles21: 256 isoTiles11 flattened to a 2:1 ratio (92x46px)
• isoBlocks11: 1024 isometric blocks made from 4 (x3) copies of each original square (92x184px)
• isoBlocks21: 1024 isoBlocks11 flattened to a 2:1 ratio (92x92px)

This pack took 18 images as input, with 18 complete tilesets output for each tile/block type. I can generate different sizes / orientations based on feedback, cheers.

Large screenshots are 1/3 original size.

For a step-by-step guide on how to use the tilesets, see Intro to stacking isoBlocks in Godot.

9 Themes on Fundamental Forces

## 1. **Gravitational Force**
- The force that attracts two bodies with mass toward each other.
- Describes large-scale interactions like planetary orbits.
- Governed by Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation and refined by Einstein's General Relativity.

## 2. **Electromagnetic Force**
- Acts between electrically charged particles.
- Governs the behavior of electrons and protons, and is responsible for electricity, magnetism, and light.
- Described by Maxwell's equations and Quantum Electrodynamics (QED).

## 3. **Weak Nuclear Force**
- Responsible for radioactive decay and nuclear fission.
- Acts at subatomic scales, affecting the transformation of neutrons into protons.
- Unified with the electromagnetic force in the Standard Model under electroweak theory.

## 4. **Strong Nuclear Force**
- Binds protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
- The strongest of the four forces but only acts at very short ranges (~10^-15 meters).
- Explained by Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) through the exchange of gluons between quarks.

## 5. **Unification of Forces**
- Physicists aim to unify the four fundamental forces under a single theory.
- Electroweak theory unifies electromagnetic and weak forces, but efforts continue to include gravity (e.g., string theory).

## 6. **Force Carriers (Bosons)**
- Each force is mediated by particles: photons (electromagnetic), W/Z bosons (weak), gluons (strong), and hypothesized gravitons (gravity).
- These particles facilitate the transfer of force between interacting particles.

## 7. **Gravity vs. Quantum Forces**
- Gravity is best explained by General Relativity, whereas the other forces are described by Quantum Field Theory.
- Bridging the gap between the quantum world and gravity remains a major challenge in modern physics (e.g., quantum gravity theories).

## 8. **Gauge Symmetry**
- Fundamental forces are described by gauge theories that rely on symmetries in physical laws.
- The Standard Model is based on symmetry groups like SU(3) for strong force and SU(2) x U(1) for electroweak forces.

## 9. **Dark Matter and Dark Energy**
- Beyond the four known forces, unexplained phenomena such as dark matter and dark energy suggest new forces or modifications of existing ones.
- Ongoing research in cosmology and particle physics seeks to understand these unknown components of the universe.
