One of the things I did today during the #CreativeCode Jam in Berlin was to visualize some agents (2D points) @mimetik 's program generated on real time.
His program is fascinating to watch... how they cluster, chase each other, try to escape...
I thought the point distribution in 2D space was more interesting than just a random distribution and wondered how they might look as triangles.
6 agent types with different colors. It was fun to juggle with that data and create many iterations.
Take two is a big improvement. I disabled all optimizations, so it draws the lines in a predictable order removing previous discontinuities. #penplotter#CreativeCoding#axidraw#openrndr
I am now in the exciting time immediately following porting a library to a new language: the “why is everything so slow and how do I make it faster???” phase. 😅🔥
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 :)
