Translating from Java to JavaScript. The Bubble Project
“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
3D Earthquake Data Visualization Coding Challenge
The earthquake data visualization coding challenge by Daniel Shiffman went further than just a 2D map – it went 3D! Simon managed to complete the challenge, except for the very last … Continue reading 3D Earthquake Data Visualization Coding Challenge
Linear and Ease Transition
Simon explains the difference between linear transition and ease transition:
Matter.js (Physics Library)
Simon got seriously hooked on Matter.js, a a 2D JavaScript physics library that supports rigid body collisions and constraints. He started with Daniel Shiffman intro to Matter.js, downloaded it using GitBash … Continue reading Matter.js (Physics Library)
The Threejs Library
Simon keeps finding awesome libraries online, this weekend he came up with this gem of 3D JavaScript: https://threejs.org There are masses of examples, this one was our favourite. Can’t wait until … Continue reading The Threejs Library
Random and Noise Functions
We’ve got a whiteboard now! And that means more lectures by Simon! Here he sketched something about random and noise functions, exciting stuff:
Perlin Noise Flow Field Coding Challenge
I think this is probably the most beautiful coding challenge Simon has completed so far. It’s based on a Perlin noise coding challenge by Daniel Shiffman where you’re asked to create a … Continue reading Perlin Noise Flow Field Coding Challenge
Animation with Khan Academy
Simon has been trying different courses in JacaScript on Khan Academy, making some fun animations as part of tasks:
Coding Challenge #19
Simon made another beautiful visual graphic in P5 today. In the video below he explains the use of trigonometric formulas inside the code. The code itself comes from Daniel Shiffman’s … Continue reading Coding Challenge #19
This is what you need math for
“Well, do you know what pi divided by four is? That’s an eighth of the full rotation!” – I hear Simon talk to himself in English from the living room. … Continue reading This is what you need math for
