My First Project: Recursive Circle Motion
Jul 24th, 2008, 8:22am  
Hi everyone!

Let me introduce myself and then show you all what I've been up to in Processing.

First of all, Processing rocks!  I've been programming since I was about 12 (I'm 23 now), starting out on my TI-83 graphing calculator. I made a bunch of games and ATTEMPTED to make digital art, but there is only so much you can do on a 1 color 60 by 60 screen!

I went on to learn C and C++ but was very discouraged by my lack of graphics ability.  Last year I stumbled upon NetLogo, which actually allowed me to put some color on the screen, which was great, but still felt lacking.  Now that I've found Processing, I feel my life will never be the same.  Finally I can program the way I want to!

Anyway, here is my first project:
http://jeiki.awardspace.com/processing/recursive_circles/

It is based on the recursion example found here: http://processing.org/learning/basics/recursion.html

I took it to the next level adding motion, color effects and more.  Instructions are on the page.  If you make a really cool effect you can press 's' to show the properties.  Let me know and I might hard code it as a preset.

Also, feel free to nitpick my code!  I'm always learning.

Nice to meet you all.

Hey, I like it. Hitting the R key to set random properties gives so different results, that's impressive!

Is there a transparency attribute available in any of the modes?

This is well done, a good demo of processing, and an inspiration to artsy programmers like myself.  Thanks.
