An advantage of working on ‘academic’ schedule is I have my summers off (really only 5 weeks unpaid… but hey I still look forward to). It is a great way to get refreshed and to avoid burn out. Of course with this luxury of 5 weeks off comes the flip side… an intense work schedule until I get my building shut down for the summer, etc.
Somehow, I still managed to get some time in for both Javascript and Processing. This week with Processing it was a section on understanding the use of Random values as well as Noise. I now know that Noise is random but smoothly incremented randomness; whereas, pure randomness might have a small random increment followed by a giant one, followed by 10 humongous ones followed by 3 tiny ones. This might not be what one wants thus the use of Noise to force the steps across an increment to change at a uniform rate. Anyway… here you will see a few demos with size, direction, color and speed to increment incrementing randomly and with noise.
So today’s video is truly random… enjoy.
