The Bibites by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated 2025-07-16
Unknown real developer name, claims to be from Canada on YouTube channel about: www.youtube.com/@TheBibitesDigitalLife/about, likely because he's a software developer and wants to keep his employer's claws away from his side project.
Appears to be closed source unfortunately, so not suitable for research.
Video 1. "What will happen after 100h of evolution? by The Bibites (2022)" mentions it was started five years ago, so circa 2017.
Appears to be Unity-based, if you download and extract for Linux you get files named UnityPlayer.so.
Was not very Linux compatible: www.reddit.com/r/TheBibites/comments/vqk6ac/program_stalls_at_a_blue_screen/ Trying to run 0.5.0 leads to a blank screen after you click "start simulation".

This channel contains several 2D continuous simulations and explains AI techniques used.
The engine appears to be open source: github.com/Primer-Learning/PrimerTools (previously at: 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).

Alpha Investments by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated 2025-07-16
Very good channel that gives some idea of the behind the scenes of working with card stores and secondary market trading.
Such lessons can have applicability in business and investment outside of the Magic The Gathering context as well. Yet another example that usefulness can come out of uselessness.

Two Minute Papers by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated 2025-07-16
The approach of this channel of exposing recent research papers is a "honking good idea" that should be taken to other areas beyond just machine learning. It takes a very direct stab at the missing link between basic and advanced!
The Dropout by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated 2025-07-16
It is good to watch the Out For blood in Silicon Valley (2019) documentary after this to see how the characters look like in real life. Many feel amazingly cast, very close to the original. The only great exception is the Indian dude, who is completely different. Was it that hard to find some indian dude who looked and felt a little more like the real one?

Great reports to how 2022-Ciro Santilli views how OurBigBook.com could go. Ciro can't help to feel that he is a mixture of both of the vision, tech and people guy. Not as extreme as any of them, but more like a well rounded (and less good individually) version of each. High flying bird vs gophers.
