Time to spend some quality time with the profiler and the compiler docs. 🎉
Part of getting the new community instance (datavis.social) up and running was deciding on my profile header. I went with an IterativeArt piece I created with code and the text "F*ck Cancer".
I started working on this piece in the days after my diagnosis but before going in for surgery. Even with my frustrations and scary emotions about Cancer, that I was feeling at the time, I still wanted to make the piece beautiful. As usual :)
Updated my image-to-spiral code to a faster variant than the AM/FM waves I often use. This one has multiple spirals, with each having a varying degree of radial displacement based on brightness within the set so at white they all overlay and at black they spread to fill the space between loops of the spiral #PenPlotter#CreativeCoding
Another local native plant portrait with code. This time of Skunk Cabbage (Symplocarpus foetidus). I left it a bit expressively weird, because... personality.
I haven't been sucessfull in integrating JMusic into my Project so far (never used external libraries before)
Meanwhile @kandid brought my attention to soundification and I did succeed at multithreading! One thread does the gravity sim while the other soundifies it: Pitch increases the closer the planet gets to the star. The pace changes with the planets speed
