We’ve found the real 0° meridian!

And it turned out to be a that little path next to the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, not the Prime Meridian line. The 0° meridian is what the GPS uses … Continue reading We’ve found the real 0° meridian!

Simon’s changes to Daniel Shiffman’s Spherical Geometry Coding Challenge

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

Simple Physics. Translating from Lua (the language in the Codea app) into Java

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

Mapping Earthquake Data Coding Challenge

On Friday Simon finished another beautiful Daniel Shiffman coding challenge called Mapping Earthquake Data. The purpose of this coding challenge was to visualize earthquake data from the USGS website (http://earthquake.usgs.gov/data/) by mapping … Continue reading Mapping Earthquake Data Coding Challenge
