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
This is a sound synthesis project that Simon created using p5 references. It’s quite intense sound, so maybe you should turn the volume down a notch. It’s funny how Simon … Continue reading Sound Synthesis Project. Simon’s own code.
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
Simon talks about his changes to Daniel Shiffman’s Spherical Geometry Coding Challenge: He has rewritten the code in an object oriented manner. Later he also turned the sphere into an … Continue reading Simon’s changes to Daniel Shiffman’s Spherical Geometry Coding Challenge
Simon made another attempt to conquer vector functions, now in JavaScript (in Atom) and got stuck once he reached the Matrix Class, again. He had already tried this in Java, … Continue reading More Vector Functions. The Damned Matrix Class.
Simon returned to his old Attractor sketch in Processing once again, now adding some new functions: The code original came from Daniel Shiffman’s book The Nature of Code, Chapter 5 (Physics … Continue reading Back to Attractor with ToxicLibs
In for a shower? Simon made a beautiful Cloud Simulation in Processing (Java). He wrote this code himself. This is the final version of the project: The whole project is … Continue reading Cloud Simulation. Simon’s Own Code.
Simon was preoccupied with vector functions for most of the day on Saturday, compiling what, at first site, looked like a monstrously excessive code in Processing (he recycled some of … Continue reading Back to Python (and C#)!
On Monday this week Simon spent hours converting hexadecimals into RGBA values for the 140 colors supported by all modern browsers and creating a color file in Codea. He used … Continue reading RGB Project in Codea using SVG Color Map
Simon wrote a modulus counting program in Processing after we were discussing why 1 % 2 = 1 and why 2 % 4 = 2. He basically told me he … Continue reading Modulus Counting in Processing
A beautiful project in Processing (Java), Simon’s own code, resembling an El Lissitzky painting that you can control and change with the mouse (without Simon knowing El Lissitzky). Resulted from … Continue reading Infinite Line in Processing. Simon’s own code.
“This one doesn’t have that much code inside!” – Simon explains. It’s still a fun idea though: drawing a box (a cube) that “has all of the colors you can … Continue reading Color Box in Processing. Simon’s own code.
