This channel contains several 2D continuous simulations and explains AI techniques used.

The engine appears to be <open source>: https://github.com/Primer-Learning/PrimerTools (previously at: https://github.com/Helpsypoo/primer[]). Models are closed source however.

They have several interesting multiagent game ideas.

Claims <Unity>-based, so has the downside of relying on a non-<FOSS> engine.

Ciro became mildly jealous of this channel when he found out about it, because at 800k subscribers at the time, the creator is likely able to make a living off of it, something which Ciro thought impossible.

As of 2022 he was at 1.6M followers with only 17 videos! Of course, much of those videos is about the software and they require infinite development hours to video time ratios.

Much of this success hinges a large part on the amazing 3D game presentation.

Well done!

Created by <Justin Helps>. Awesome name.

To make things better, the generically named channel is also the title of one of the best films of al time: <Primer (2004)>.
