Simon returned to the Solar System in Processing Coding Challenge by Daniel Shiffman – something he tried before and got stuck. He has now successfully completed both the 2D and … Continue reading Solar System in Processing Coding Challenge
Simon translating the game of Pong from Codea (Lua) into Processing (Java).
Simon will continue with his weekly Chinese practices throughout the summer.
Many efforts to make a leap forward in understanding Matrix Math last week. Simon was stuck in several vector functions projects (in Python, C#, Java and JavaScript) when trying to … Continue reading Elusive Matrix Math
Simon talking to himself in English, lying on the floor under his desk, his chair upside down next to him: “Am I also 4D? Probably, because I live through time…” … Continue reading And some of the latest quotes:
Simon playing Clementi’s Sonatina:
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’s lecture on the different ways to simulate light in Processing (Java):
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
Simon explains why he slightly changed Daniel Shiffman’s Lorenz Attractor Coding Challenge: Simon used four variables instead of 11. The Lorenz system is a system of ordinary differential equations, first … Continue reading Simon’s Changes to the Lorenz Attractor Coding Challenge
In the videos below, Simon is building a Codota demo in Java. Codota is an AI programming assistant that is looking for solutions on GitHub and other global resources and … Continue reading Simon testing Codota
