Week 1 assignment

The assignment was:

(Choose one or more of the following…or create your own.) Post a link to your work at: the course wiki.
# Create a visual system that is built entirely by random numbers (random shapes, random locations, random sizes, random colors, etc.). Then, using the concepts outlined above, recreate this same system without any purely random input. Can you design some new methods for “controlled” randomness?
# Use object oriented programming to create a “random walker”, i.e. an object that moves around the window randomly (see above example). Use the techniques above to move the walker around the screen in a more interesting way. Can you expand the walker to have more advanced physics?

I went with the second one. the homework details can be seen here.

I am trying to figure out why things are occuring as such. I wanted it to live, but the thing died, and it is sad.

nature of code

This is my new blog for nature of code. I am in Dan Shiffman's class at ITP. My goals for this class are to:

a) learn to become a better programmer
b) make some really cool art using algorithims found in nature
c) take the sequence of moments found in these algorithms and build lasercut sculptures derived from a sequence of moments... (for example, each moment exists on a seperate layer of plexiglass)
d) enjoy it
