OpenWordle library

Hi,

I'm sure most of you have heard of Wordle by Jonathan Feinberg, an application that produces beautiful word clouds. Since its code isn't open source, I've created an alternative Processing library. [Because I'm a new user, this BB doesn't let me post links, so please Google "OpenWordle" to find it.] I hope you can use it to create cool applications, such as collaborative art.

Here's an example where I use OpenWordle to visualize a poem as it is being read: [search YouTube for "OpenWordle Prufrock"]. The library comes with a few small sketches to demonstrate its capabilities.

There are still some missing support components, like a text parser/reducer and interesting fonts and color schemes. Let me know if you are interested in contributing!

Michael

Wow, indeed I always regretted Wordle wasn't open source. Thanks for your work!
