This is one Simon’s most beautiful projects recently! Simon saw the idea to link the webcam image to the boids of a flocking system in a video by Daniel Shiffman, … Continue reading Flocking System Painting with Pixels
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)
Magformers (magnetic building sets involving maths) used to be Simon’s greatest passion when he was six (just a year ago!) and this week he has been travelling in time to … Continue reading Automatic Magformers Table
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.
We were caught up in the rain and had to wait at a restaurant. What do you do in a situation like this? Simon made a snake game on his … Continue reading Snake Game in Codea
Simon was reading about math functions on Wikipedia and came up with an idea to create an interactive math functions editor in JavaScript that would visualize (i.e. show the graphs … Continue reading Interactive Math Functions
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
Simon built a program in Codea visualizing the absolute value of a vector:
