Game Programming

**Josep Maria Pujol** will be leading a hands\-on workshop where we crack open the "black box" of physics engines and build real\-time simulations from scratch — no magic\, just math and intuition\.\| **Josep Maria Pujol - Software Engineer, Unity** We start with the fundamentals — position, velocity, acceleration, and time stepping — building an intuitive sense of how objects move. Next, we tackle collisions, impulse response, and simple rigid body simulation, seeing how objects bounce, collide, and respond to forces in real time. Finally, we explore constraints and stability with Position-Based Dynamics (PBD) and Extended PBD (XPBD), also giving a glimpse into how other more complex physics systems work. Through hands-on exercises, you'll experiment in the Unity Editor, tweaking parameters and instantly visualising the effects — turning abstract physics concepts into interactive intuition and building transferable skills for working with physics engines in games. By the end, you'll understand not just how simulations work — but why they work. **Workshop repo:** [https://github.com/JosepMariaPujol/PhysicsWorkshop](https://github.com/JosepMariaPujol/PhysicsWorkshop) **Program:** 17:30 - Sandwiches, sodas and mingling 18:00 - Welcome 18:10 - Workshop 19:15 (approx.) - Mingling continues 21:30 - Venue closing

Welcome for some fun improv games together :) About us: We are a bunch of people of all ages and backgrounds, gathering to share the common passion for improv. Improvisation, or Improv for short, is a form of live theatre in which the story, characters and scenes are without a script and made up in the moment, completely different every time. The actors are acting, directing themselves, writing the plot and interacting with each other all at the same time without previous planning. Improvisation can help you with your social and business skills by training your mind to think quickly and react to unexpected situations. In Improvisation, there are no lines to memorize and you play off other creatively challenged fun-loving, global-minded people who loves laughing at themselves. It’s a great way to socialize and make new friends. It’s a welcoming atmosphere, we want you to join in the fun, whether you are a complete beginner or an experienced improviser – come and lets enjoy together! We usually start with some warm-ups that help us relax, listen and focus. Then we move on to doing different kinds of short scene fun games with each other, making characters, stories and our small worlds. In improv mistakes are welcome and you will have goooood times! We charge 50 kr in advance in order to cover our expenses. Swish is king! See you very soon ;) Please come only if you are in good health! P.S. You can also follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/themiip

**“Scientific Questions 2026 (!) — Free Will, Quantum Reality, and What We Still Don’t Know”** Mind, Matter, Uncertainty, and the Limits of Explanation Despite all our progress, some of the most fundamental questions remain wide open. As science advances in neuroscience, physics, and AI, old mysteries return in sharper form: Are we truly free? What is reality at the quantum level? And are there limits to what science can ever explain? This isn’t a popular science lecture or a math-heavy session. It’s a philosophical exploration of science at its edges—where evidence runs thin and interpretation matters. *** **Topics we’ll touch on:** * Free will: illusion, emergence, or something real? * Neuroscience and determinism: are “choices” made before we know them? * Quantum interpretations: many worlds, collapse, hidden variables, or something stranger? * Does quantum uncertainty leave room for freedom—or change nothing? * Can science explain consciousness—or just correlate it? * Are there questions science cannot answer in principle? * And finally… how should we live if reality is stranger—and less certain—than we thought? Casual discussion. No physics or neuroscience background required—just curiosity and a tolerance for uncertainty. Whether you lean deterministic, mystical, skeptical, or undecided—you’re not alone. Let’s explore the unanswered questions—and what they mean for how we understand ourselves.
