This is a sound synthesis project that Simon created using p5 references. It’s quite intense sound, so maybe you should turn the volume down a notch. It’s funny how Simon … Continue reading Sound Synthesis Project. Simon’s own code.
In the two videos below Simon writes a JavaScript program using Linear Regression in Atom and gives a whiteboard lecture on the Linear Regression algorithm, both following a tutorial on … Continue reading Simon explains Linear Regression (Machine Learning)
Simon translated this Bubble project from Codea (a physics library and an app) into p5.js (JavaScript) and put it on GitHub at: https://github.com/simon-tiger/bubble-projects
Simon translated Daniel Shiffman’s p5.js tutorial on random circles with no overlap into Processing (Java). The project is about a “circle packing”-like algorithm. Circles are placed randomly in the canvas, but only … Continue reading Random Circles with No Overlap in Processing
Following along Daniel Shiffman’s Steering Behaviors Coding Challenge: extracting font path points from text in p5.js with p5.Font.textToPoints() and rendering the text as particles with steering behaviors that react to … Continue reading Steering Behaviors Coding Challenge
Simon has written a code about using Polar Distribution to create clusters in p5.js (JavaScript). The code is available online at: https://alpha.editor.p5js.org/simontiger/sketches/Sy1CX71xZ The little particles are attracted to one another but don’t … Continue reading Polar Distribution to create clusters
Simon created an engine that uses trigonometrical (polar coordinates) formulas to produce beautiful roses. He reproduced the code originally created by Daniel Shiffman from memory and searched for the formulas … Continue reading Polar Roses in JavaScript
In today’s project (partly based upon Daniel Shiffman’s Diffusion-Limited Aggregation Coding Challenge), Simon attempted to combine the generative algorithm “Diffusion-Limited Aggregation” (DLA) and an IQ Puzzler game. As DLA visual pattern is … Continue reading Random Walker Puzzler. Diffusion-Limited Aggregation (Simon’s own code)
In this video Simon explains how a server works with multiple clients: He also used this knowledge on practice as he came back to the Shared Drawing Canvas Coding Challenge, a … Continue reading Node and Broadcasting messages between clients. Shared Canvas.
Simon loved Daniel Shiffman’s simulation of the Plinko game and added some extra features to Daniel’s code, like a button to make new chips appear. He also saw a … Continue reading Simon’s Plinko
“Just recycling some building blocks here”, I heard Simon say Monday. This is a screenshot of Simon’s Bubble Project – an animation he built by translating a Java code from … Continue reading Translating from Java to JavaScript. The Bubble Project
Simon continued translating from JavaScript to Java as he followed Daniel Shiffman’s tutorial on creating a mirror based on the brightness values of the pixels from a live video feed. The … Continue reading Translating from JavaScript to Java (Continued)
