In this video we see how to start coding a Falling Sand Simulation using Jitter Matrices and Javascript in the Max 9 V8 object.
In part 2 we will finish this simple simulation and use Typed Arrays instead of reading and writing jitter matrices directly.
With Typed Arrays we can transfer data between jitter matrices and JS arrays in a super fast way, which makes iterating over matrices content much more performant than by accessing matrix data directly (like with "setcell" and "getcell", for example).
