New Stuff
Saturday, April 11th, 2009 I uploaded some new things today. The first is my new log which contains “drawings, animations and interactive ugliness…”
Click to view.
The log will be updated frequently, I’ll add an RSS feed to it in the next few days…
Some old experiments in flash, java, processing and director have been uploaded. Most of those were done from 2003-2004.
This java program (catch-env) is one of my favorites from that time. Click to view.
More to come in the next few days…
Processing!
Saturday, December 6th, 2008If you haven't heard yet, Processing is now out of beta. I don't have words to express my admiration for it's creators Ben Fry and Casey Reas. It had been a few years since I messed with it - because after I spent about a year using it on a regular basis... I was able to teach myself Java, C++ and OpenGL. Processing exposed me to lower level pixel manipulation than I had ever done in Flash or Director... and taught me techniques that made understanding the basics of OpenGL easy.
Today I downloaded Processing 1.0 and started playing around. In just a few minutes I was very happy.
JAVA:
-
import processing.opengl.*;
-
-
float t = 0;
-
float c = 0;
-
-
void setup(){
-
size(1400,1000, OPENGL);
-
ellipseMode(CENTER);
-
noStroke();
-
}
-
-
void draw(){
-
translate(width / 2, height / 2);
-
-
fill(0,0,0,5);
-
ellipse(50,50,mouseX, mouseY);
-
-
t += 0.01;
-
c = abs(255 * sin(t));
-
fill(c,c,c,10);
-
ellipse(0,0,mouseX, mouseY);
-
}
I think I'm going to work Processing back into my daily coding routine...
