I'm German. What kind of proposal is this?

As already pointed out these words are constructed from other more basic words. As the German language allows for this, some people like it to juggle around and come up with (more or less) funny words.

I guess the majority of English-speaking natives find this funny.


agreed. tldr as I read it: "lol look at these long words I found in the German dictionary"


We find it lustig actually.


No, I just installed it from Germany.


I once programmed a swarm simulation as a project for a course I attended. You can set various parameters of the swarm and introduce a predator which can try to eat inidividuals of the swarm. You then can set a bunch of escape strategies. This was pretty much fun when I wrote it.

Just uploaded it to my bitbucket repository in case anyone is interested.

My app with a very similar goal (predators & prey), but C++ with OpenGL :)

I remember decoupling the simulation speed from graphics rendering speed (aka frame rate) and AI thinking speed was a lot of fun!
