## Prime Intirety

Since ancient times humanity knew that there are infinitely many primes — though countable, writing a complete list of every prime is impossible if one intends to finish.
However, in practice one often only considers a minute subset of the naturals to work with and think about. When writing low-level languages like C, one is nearly forced to forget about almost every natural number — the data type u_int_32, for example, is only capable of representing $\{\mathbb{N}_0\ni n<2^{32}\}$.
Therefore, it is possible to produce a complete list of every prime representable in thirty-two bits using standard bit pattern interpretation — the entirety of the first $203\,280\,221$ primes.

Generating said list took about two minutes on a 4GHz Intel Core i7 using an elementary sieve approach written in C compiled with gcc -O2.
All primes are stored in little-endian format and packed densely together, requiring four bytes each.

Using the resulting file, one can quickly index the primes, for example $p_{10^7} = 179\,424\,691 = \text{ab1cdb3}_{16}$ (using zero-based indexing). Since each prime is stored using four bytes, the prime’s index is scaled by a factor of four, resulting in its byte index.

## Circle Walk II

Continuing the idea from ‘Circle Walk’, I created ‘Circle Walk II’. In this program the entities get – based on their spawn time – a number (just to see the exact spawn time). As they spawn, they get put in a list. From this list their position around the center is calculated (in a similar way as in ‘Polygons’). Their distance to the center equals five times the number of entities ($\text{distance to the center} = 5 \cdot \text{number of entities}$), but cannot reach outside the screen. Their color is calculated based on their angle.
