Magnitude of a 3D vector
Here Simon explains how to calculate the magnitude of a 3D vector. This is something he partially figured out on his own and partially learned from Daniel Shiffman’s tutorial on … Continue reading Magnitude of a 3D vector
Diffusion-Limited Aggregation translated into Codea
Simon translated Daniel Shiffman’s Diffusion-limited Aggregation Coding Challenge into Codea. The coding challenge explores the generative algorithm “Diffusion-Limited Aggregation”, whose visual pattern is generated from random walkers clustering around a … Continue reading Diffusion-Limited Aggregation translated into Codea
Error with Genetic Algorithm. What is wrong?
Simon was almost done translating Smart Rockets example no. 2 (Smart Rockets Superbasic) from Daniel Shiffman’s The Nature of Code, from Processing (Java) into JavaScript in Cloud9, when he got … Continue reading Error with Genetic Algorithm. What is wrong?
Thoughts on Fidget Spinner Simulation
In his recent Live Stream, Daniel Shiffman announced he would make a fidget spinner simulation in the near future. Inspired by this idea, Simon has jotted down some code for … Continue reading Thoughts on Fidget Spinner Simulation
For Mom’s birthday
For my birthday, Simon made me some Fireworks: He made them look even better the following day, by adding trails: The code is Simon’s translation into Lua (the language of … Continue reading For Mom’s birthday
Preparing to give Dad some Processing Lessons
Simon has been giving Dad some lessons in Processing (Java), following the chapters in Daniel Shiffman’s book The Nature of Code. The have already finished Chapetr 1 (Vectors) and moved … Continue reading Preparing to give Dad some Processing Lessons
Box2D into Codea, Java into Lua
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
Neural Network Animations in JavaScript
New examples from Daniel Shiffman’s book The Nature of Code translated into JavaScript in Simon’s Neural Networks collection at https://codepen.io/collection/DbBqJj/
Neural Networks Coding Challenge
Simon completes the Neural Networks Coding Challenge (in Processing, Java) that he had followed in the Intelligence and Learning Livestream last Friday. In the videos below he also talks about … Continue reading Neural Networks Coding Challenge
Neural Networks. Perceptron and Preception Seeking in JavaScript
Simon has translated Examples 10.1 (Perceptron) and 10.2 (Perceptron Steering) from Daniel Shiffman’s Nature of Code book, Chapter 10 (Neural Networks) into JavaScript in Codepen.io. Both projects are available online, … Continue reading Neural Networks. Perceptron and Preception Seeking in JavaScript
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
