3D Basics
Summary
Testing the box, sphere, and camera features in Processing. In the camera demo, I tried to create a box with six squares, but they don’t seem to fix nicely together nor perfectly aligned to the sphere with the same center.

Word It: Flies All Around
Summary
Using Processing to go beyond the Word It medium to learn many functions of the programming language.
This month’s theme is Fly, so I decided to go semi-obvious and spell the word by filling the negative space using images of flies. It sort of reminds me of the Orkin poster where it collects pests with adhesive printed in the Orkin logo pattern on the poster.
Here is my entry on Word It.

Classes in Processing
Summary
Learning how to write a class in Processing while having fun with time-based and mouse-based movements.
Basic movements determined by time.
Tracking the movements, still based on time.
Tracking the movement, based on time and mouse position.
These examples don’t really do much, except create interesting forms. And it’s different every time since they’re based on the current time and mouse position. At least I learned about classes in Processing.
Processing Geometric Form
Summary
Using Processing to automatically generate the forms of connections of regular polygons instead of manually drawing them as I had two weeks ago.
Here are three screenshots of the animations at different point-number (8, 50, 200, respectively) definitions. Each of these “animations” runs with the same number of starting points and animates by upping the number of points it skips before drawing a line.
