Several recent translations of Box2D examples (from Daniel Shiffman’s book The Nature of Code) into Codea, that is Processing (Java) into Lua. Both Box2D and Codea are physics libraries. Surface: … Continue reading Box2D into Codea, Java into Lua
Simon really enjoyed Daniel Shiffman’s “buzzing bee” (from the Graphing 1D Perlin Noise tutorial) into Lua, the language of the Codea app.
This morning Simon attempted to make a more difficult translation in the Codea app of an example from Daniel Shiffman’s book The Nature of Code (Java) into Lua. It concerned the Gravitational Attraction example … Continue reading Translating examples from The Nature of Code into Lua (Codea)
Another translation involving the Codea app, only this time Simon decided to translate an example from Daniel Shiffman’s book The Nature of Code (Java) into Lua. The example comes from … Continue reading The Nature of Code Forces example translated into Lua
Simon came up with an idea to translate a physics visualization from the Codea app (using a language called Lua) into Processing (Java) by applying Box2D. The first two videos … Continue reading Simple Physics. Translating from Lua (the language in the Codea app) into Java
Also among the interests of the past couple of days: the Breadth-first Search and the Depth-first Search: Both are algorithms for searching tree or graph data structures (think: mazes). The Breadth-first Search … Continue reading Recent fascinations
