On Social Development
Last night Simon had this social experience like never before: for the first time in his life, he followed a long (nearly 3 hrs) live programming session and actively participated … Continue reading On Social Development
Autonomous Agents. Steering Behaviors. Flocking.
Simon’s full-screen take on Flocking, based on Chapter 6 from The Nature of Code (Autonomous Agents). The code comes from Daniel Shiffman’s tutorial Combining Behaviors: Flocking. In Simon’s words, Autonomous … Continue reading Autonomous Agents. Steering Behaviors. Flocking.
Drawing Object Trails in Processing
Simon’s translation of the Drawing Object Trails p5.js tutorial into Processing. In the tutorial, Daniel Shiffman looked at how an object can store a history of positions thus allowing to render the object’s … Continue reading Drawing Object Trails in Processing
