7. The No Ball Prize - For the Greatest Benefit to Ball Pits

It's finally done! After a couple of intense days of testing different kernels we've finally finished our report. At least that's what we're going to say tomorrow when we actually write the last parts and hand it in. But we promise, it is more or less done at this point. 

The tests were extremely accurate and not at all improvised on the spot. We found a couple of kernels that had some weird behaviours in a couple of cases and we tried to narrow down our report on these edge cases. Turns out we could get quite a few pages from those little kernels. In the end we didn't manage to make a ball pit. At least it doesn't look like one. We instead spent our time trying out different kernels which I guess is a technically  a "better use of our time".  Still, we managed to find what worked best for us and we've attached a video of that below. 

For all other videos, Here's a link to a playlist containing all videos that we made (excluding the ones we uploaded directly to blogger, can't be bothered to download those)
