Spinning Broccoli

Spinning Broccoli is an experiment with camera angles and animation thrown right on top of my recursive "tree" experiments. Spinning Broccoli looks a lot better in OpenGL than P3D (because 3D strokeweight works in OpenGL and not P3D) but the libraries are so large I figured best to keep it svelte for this course website. But the OpenGL code is still in the code should you feel moved to play around with it.

Lookup Demo

A demo to learn about propagating waves of RGB values through an otherwise plain checkerboard of sin values.

Random If Else

A grad student, Rama, from the MAT program mentioned that some of the behavior of this particular if else loop has been impossible to prove mathematically; but while it isn't easily provable it does produce some interesting patterns.

Black & White waves

This is one of the more interesting of probably 200 different 2D trigonometry experiments completed one evening. Note that the winning function is conveniently overlayed in the upper lefthand corner of the image.

Walking Motion

I altered Processing's sample Brownian motion algorithm to produce a VERY crude direction-oriented motion. The line sends out random "feelers" and if one of them lands in approximately the correct direction it "moves" to the new location.

Random Spots of Color

Random spots lays down a series of circles whose color becomes successively whiter the deeper they are stacked on each other.
