Sketches #6

(download)

I saw this image on brysonian’s tumblr post. I had to try to replicate it, and I definitely have a long way to go. Going to post it regardless. Besides, it was good fun working with peon’s processing textmate bundle. It really makes me not miss the original ide at all. Very well thought out and implemented, alas unlike this sketch.

It’s been a good week. I started off implementing my own autonomous steering behaviors using this article as demo and specification. I also played around with making the methods in my PApplet subclasses chainable:

Chaining

pen.update()
   .prepareCable()
   .trace()
   .cable();

And I started a Stage singleton abstract the Processing functions into something more reusable and flexible, though one of my doubts is I’m just undoing the benefits of Processing in order to fight its detriments. I’ve still got much to resolve to get to drawing technique from the original picture, but I did manage to implement the ‘cable’ effect I mentioned a few months ago.

Strangely, I’ve used Processing for 4+ years but it was only until recent years I looked more into Java…

I’ve started a Github repo for this project Plans to salvage all the crap Processing code I’ve written will be underway soon as well.
