It’s closing on a year since I uploaded my last project.  This one is a rare project that combines all three of the themes of this site. Several of my projects have used Processing.  It’s a quick and fun way to prototype projects, and it can grow to be pretty powerful before needing to moveContinue ReadingContinue Reading

Hexagons

Hexagons

Sometimes hexagons just make better shapes than squares do.  With that in mind, I decided to have some fun creating fields of hexagons, and then doing stuff with them.  I created a script that fills a rectangular field with hexagons, then moves and colors the hexagons according to some simple algorithms.  The results are prettyContinue ReadingContinue Reading

What I came a across was Cyclic Symmetric Multi-Scale Turing Patterns by Jonathan McCabe, and a number of links to implementations of some of his algorithms.  One of these implementationsContinue ReadingContinue Reading
