Simon created his very first video game completely on his own. Everything in this game he came up with by himself – from the original idea and design to the … Continue reading The Sea Game. Simon’s First Own Game.
This weekend Simon came back to his old fascination, Fractal Trees. This time he didn’t just follow along Daniel Shiffman’s coding challenges, but created customized versions of Daniel’s trees, adding … Continue reading Fractal Trees Customized
Note: See the update at the bottom of this post! We’ve had quite a dramatic situation here for the past couple of days, after Simon turned Daniel Shiffman’s Evolutionary Steering … Continue reading Evolutionary Steering Behaviors Game
A set of awesome Codea tutorials that Simon recorded for those who are just starting to program in Codea. Simon ported examples from Processing (java) into Codea (Lua): In the … Continue reading Simon’s Codea Tutorials and the Arc-Tangent
Simon made a beautiful presentation about various lights in Processing, something he has already talked about previously. The images below show directional light and mixing spotlight and directional light. In … Continue reading Lights in Processing Continued
Simon returned to the Solar System in Processing Coding Challenge by Daniel Shiffman – something he tried before and got stuck. He has now successfully completed both the 2D and … Continue reading Solar System in Processing Coding Challenge
Simon translating the game of Pong from Codea (Lua) into Processing (Java).
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
Simon’s lecture on the different ways to simulate light in Processing (Java):
Simon returned to his old Attractor sketch in Processing once again, now adding some new functions: The code original came from Daniel Shiffman’s book The Nature of Code, Chapter 5 (Physics … Continue reading Back to Attractor with ToxicLibs
Simon explains why he slightly changed Daniel Shiffman’s Lorenz Attractor Coding Challenge: Simon used four variables instead of 11. The Lorenz system is a system of ordinary differential equations, first … Continue reading Simon’s Changes to the Lorenz Attractor Coding Challenge
