wormy toys...
« on: Mar 16^th, 2004, 11:31pm »

2 sketches, bits of a broader work to be published soon...

http://www.chronotext.org/toys/Centipede.htm

a simple worm, based on a very simple principle: basically, applying Pythagoras a la lettre...

http://www.chronotext.org/toys/Wire.htm

here, it's about dragging a wire from any point, it also involves inertia and friction.

the principles behind are from the classical, simple and powerful Verlet physics simulation model.

everything and more on the subject can be found in this wonderful paper:

hey casey,

if you liked these ones, take a look at their chronotext counterparts:

text worm: http://www.chronotext.org/2004/text_worm_3.htm

text wire: http://www.chronotext.org/2004/text_wire_2.htm

Hi Ariel,

I played around with the code for your worm a little, and then went and looked at the other entries.
The text worms are very good.

I didn't like the overall movement, so I added a bit of simulated inertia. I also tried scaling the body, but had to enable 'smooth' to make it look nice.
It still runs at a reasonable pace though.

hey John,

nice shot + it's great to see some continued work!

a few comments:

on my current machine (~900mhz laptop), the effect of smoothing is quite hard on the cpu... also, i think the worm looks better towards its tail: maybe a sparser redistribution of the bigger nodes would help?

All run great on my 600mhz laptop. Bit odd.
