Working with curves
Aug 10th, 2005, 5:34pm  
Hello all,

I have been steadily getting into Processing and I was interested in trying to create a series of moving curves, simulating a string moving back and forth in the wind. I would like to produce a number of these and I wanted to know if anyone had any pointers or quick code snips that I could look at.

thanks.

There was a link to a "String" applet in the exhibition.  The same person also did this one:

Simulating a moving string isn't the same problem as creating a series of moving curves though - perhaps that's why this question went unanswered?

Try breaking the problem down into smaller steps, but bear in mind that physics simulations aren't necessarily a good way to learn - they are very complicated from the beginning.  Simon Greenwold is working on a particle library that should make learning about these things a little simpler.
