I'm developing a class right now with O'Reilly Media that will be starting August 31st. It will be a live, free, video course, while it's going. There will also be a pay version that includes downloads (pdf of all slides etc.) and access to the videos anytime. It will be at http://training.oreilly.com and you can send an email to training@oreilly.com to be notified when the class is available.

Anyways, so i thought "hey lets try it again, i must be able to come up with some smart way of doing it" and as it turns out i was. So i thought i'd share what i came up with: Code:<pre class="code"> int number; int rectWidth; int offset; void setup(){ size(800,800); background(255); fill(0); noStroke(); number = 1515175624; //magic constant! offset = 5; //ofset from the edge of the window.. sort of rectWidth = height/8-offset; // width of the boxes } void draw(){ background(255); int temp = number; for(int y = 0; y < 8;y++){ for(int x = 0; x < 4;x++){ if(temp%2 == 0){ fill(255); }else{ fill(0); } rect(offset*4+(width-height)/2+x*rectWidth,offset*4+y*rectWidth,rectWidth,rectWidth); rect(-(width-height)/2-offset*4+width-(x+1)*rectWidth,offset*4+y*rectWidth,rectWidth,rectWidth); temp = temp >>1; } } //number = int(random(-(MAX_INT)))+int(random((128))); //uncomment this - shit brix } void mousePressed(){ number = int(random(-(MAX_INT)))+int(random((128))); } </pre> I'd like to point out that while the code is indeed mine, the idea of mirroring the random-pattern to create space invader-like creature belongs to Jared (as far as i can tell). This code is just my solution to the program he described. Also i haven't actually seen Jared's source code for it was in .fla format and im still downloading flash. There, just wanted to point that out so no one is offended or confused :) Usage: Click to create a new random thingy.

Sometimes I think there's great power in simplicity. I guess my main concern would be that the new forum be fast, and the thought of widgets and add-ons just makes me shiver! If it works well though I wouldn't be complaining. Also, I just got a shiny new Droid to play with, so something with good mobile support would be fantastic! <img src="yabbfiles/Templates/Forum/processing_one/wink.gif" border="0" alt="Wink" title="Wink" /> Anyways, I'm sure whatever you decide on will be excellent!

Good to be here again. Anyway, I've recently been interested in what patterns emerge in "flocking" behavior and did my first rough sketch in this field mainly to learn the basics. I know, it is not unique and others have done similar things in the past, but I think it is at least a nice demo-code to built on if you want to dive into that topic yourself. Personally, I like watching the everchanging patterns.... <a href="http://www.openprocessing.org/visuals/?visualID=10430" target="_blank">http://www.openprocessing.org/visuals/?visualID=10430</a> Events, Publications, Opportunities - processing in Berlin num_1276686003.html#1 Processing Discourse/Events, Publications, Opportunities num_1276686003.html#1 Wed, 16 Jun 2010 04:11:35 +0000 Just mailed you Events, Publications, Opportunities - Looking for Processing programmer - Sweden num_1276548373.html#0 Processing Discourse/Events, Publications, Opportunities num_1276548373.html#0 johan.wastring@gmail.com (Johan_Wastring) Mon, 14 Jun 2010 13:46:13 +0000 Hey (Hej) I am looking for people that work, play or prototype things with Processing that are located in the south of sweden (skåne).

For that I would prefer to stay away from mac - and I am thinking of a machine that is optimized for opengl - and video processing - sound hasn't been an issue for me - I simply use a quite decent sound card and never had problem. What are the best video card available for processing on linux ? Is nVidia the way to go ? Is there problem with some card ? On the architecture level - is 32bit to be afraid of ? is 64 bit useless or needed ? Does processing makes good use of Quad core or dual core - or focusing on single cpu is the best idea ? A lot of time processing need other software (like pureData) to have a better foundation for a certain task - if that is taken in consideration - how would that affect the choice of CPU ? What is the most important piece to consider in building the perfect linux processing machine - the quantity of ram? the power of the GPU? the processor power? And how important is the real time kernel in linux ? I saw a massive change from ubuntu to puredyne and wonder how this affect processing. Anyway - this is meant mostly for opening the discussion and see what has been done before - I am preparing a presentation in September and would like to build the computer exclusively to boost processing (and with a bit of pure data <img src="yabbfiles/Templates/Forum/processing_one/wink.gif" border="0" alt="Wink" title="Wink" /> ) thanks Exhibition - Featuring "Storm" on a color box num_1276039420.html#2 Processing Discourse/Exhibition num_1276039420.html#2 Wed, 09 Jun 2010 03:04:31 +0000 This is terrific. Thanks again Owaun. I'm including this among about 8 pieces I'm showing on the color box. I'm having some issues with my NEXT function (in HTML not processing-- just giving the context). Because it's all running with the Wii infrared camera, I am only tracking Mouse location. For some reason the mouseover for NEXT isn't getting triggered when Storm is running. It works for most of the other processing pages, though not all the time. Here's a test setup-- but keep in mind it's designed for projectors at 800x600 full screen. (And nothing is cited, this is a test stage) http://www.acolorbox.com/2010content_Alchemeyez/storm/15.html Anyway, the solution I'm working with now is to enable mouseclicks with the Wiimote-- but that ran into a problem with STORM. The wiimote oversimulates clicks. How do we turn off any mouseclick functionality within STORM? Sorry long explanation to get to simple question. It will work best of mouseclick does nothing. I tried to comment out mouseclick but it messed everything up. P.S. still seems like the most of the affect occurs in the upper left part of the screen.
