Simon has created animations visualizing sound waves (Triangle, Sawtooth, Square and Sine waves) in Processing (Java), using wave functions. These are the functions he used for the Sawtooth, Square and … Continue reading Sound Wave Maths in Processing
Simon built a beautiful interactive circle intersection program in Processing, in which the circles detect intersection and change colors (according to Perlin Noise) once it occurs. The player can control … Continue reading Circle Intersection with Perlin Noise in Processing (Interactive)
Simon has turned Daniel Shiffman’s Maze Generator Coding Challenge (generating a maze using the Depth-First Search Recursive algorithm) into a game in Processing (Java). It’s not fully operative yet, as the … Continue reading Maze Generator Game in Processing
This is one of Simon’s most enchanting and challenging projects so far: working on his own little AIs. As I’ve mentioned before, when it comes to discussing AI, Simon is … Continue reading Simon’s own little neural network
Simon has created a great new game in Processing: The Hero Game! It is somewhat like the good old Mario, except that Simon has no idea what Mario is and … Continue reading Hero Game in Processing. Simon’s Own Code.
Simon has been studying various 2D collisions (via the p5.collide2D library and paulbourke.net), especially the Circle-Rectangle Intersection (Collision). He was so busy with this problem that he even put it down in chalk … Continue reading Circle-Rectangle Intersection (Collision)
Simon created his very first video game completely on his own. Everything in this game he came up with by himself – from the original idea and design to the … Continue reading The Sea Game. Simon’s First Own Game.
This weekend Simon came back to his old fascination, Fractal Trees. This time he didn’t just follow along Daniel Shiffman’s coding challenges, but created customized versions of Daniel’s trees, adding … Continue reading Fractal Trees Customized
Note: See the update at the bottom of this post! We’ve had quite a dramatic situation here for the past couple of days, after Simon turned Daniel Shiffman’s Evolutionary Steering … Continue reading Evolutionary Steering Behaviors Game
A set of awesome Codea tutorials that Simon recorded for those who are just starting to program in Codea. Simon ported examples from Processing (java) into Codea (Lua): In the … Continue reading Simon’s Codea Tutorials and the Arc-Tangent
Simon made a beautiful presentation about various lights in Processing, something he has already talked about previously. The images below show directional light and mixing spotlight and directional light. In … Continue reading Lights in Processing Continued
Simon created a website to assist people using Box2D. The website features the jBox2D helper. Link to Simon’s website: https://simon-tiger.github.io/box2d-helper/ GitHub Issue about the project: https://github.com/CodingTrain/Rainbow-Topics/issues/616 Simon ported the code … Continue reading Simon built a website featuring Box2D helper
