Simon Proposes a Community Project in Procedural Design

Inspired by the Processing Community Day projects, Simon came up with an idea to launch his own community project – in procedural design. He used the Coding Train Community Cloud page as inspiration, trying to guess the code used to build it. The videos below show Simon in process of creating the interface.

Simon later presented his project on the Coding Train Slack channel where other members (including Daniel Shiffman) suggested that Simon narrowed down the theme (originally, it was procedural design projects in general and that was too broad). Simon was very upset as he was afraid his “big project” would become too small and couldn’t come up with a theme. Two days later we agreed that he would make several examples for the projects and publish them on the project’s website to give everyone a better idea of what he was looking for.

At the moment, Simon has already published the first example but there seems to be a bug in it, so please view it as work in progress. (Simon originally wrote the code for the Community Cloud project and it worked when he shared it in Processing JS, but on his own project page, using instance mode, the cloud looks like a circle).

Simon writes: Everybody is welcome to contribute to my community project called *Procedural Designs*!
