In for a shower? Simon made a beautiful Cloud Simulation in Processing (Java). He wrote this code himself. This is the final version of the project: The whole project is … Continue reading Cloud Simulation. Simon’s Own Code.
Simon was preoccupied with vector functions for most of the day on Saturday, compiling what, at first site, looked like a monstrously excessive code in Processing (he recycled some of … Continue reading Back to Python (and C#)!
Simon’s creative “remix” of example 2.7 from Daniel Shiffman’s The Nature of Code, Chapter 2 (Forces).
Today Simon spent hours translating this Car On Terrain project from Phaser.io (where it appears in JavaScript) into Processing (Java). He loved doing it in a form of a lesson for … Continue reading Translating Car On Terrain project from Phaser.io into Processing
Simon wrote a modulus counting program in Processing after we were discussing why 1 % 2 = 1 and why 2 % 4 = 2. He basically told me he … Continue reading Modulus Counting in Processing
A beautiful project in Processing (Java), Simon’s own code, resembling an El Lissitzky painting that you can control and change with the mouse (without Simon knowing El Lissitzky). Resulted from … Continue reading Infinite Line in Processing. Simon’s own code.
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?
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
Some more translations, this time from Codea (Lua) into Processing (Java). Ellipse Mode: Blend Modes: Physics Lab tests from Codea:
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
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
Simon’s full-screen take on Flocking, based on Chapter 6 from The Nature of Code (Autonomous Agents). The code comes from Daniel Shiffman’s tutorial Combining Behaviors: Flocking. In Simon’s words, Autonomous … Continue reading Autonomous Agents. Steering Behaviors. Flocking.
