Challenges

Let's celebrate PI Day by approximating the digits of Pi using a special location in the legendary Mandelbrot set fractal!

In yet another “Pi Day” coding challenge, I attempt to generate a pdf “Book of Pi” with the first 10 million digits of Pi mapped to color. Processing (Java) is used for this project.

In celebration of Pi Day, Let's attempt to “visualize” the first one million digits of Pi.

Langton's Ant is a cellular automaton that starts off with simples rules but takes on complex emergent behavior.

Getting tied up in 3D Knots in Processing is loads of fun! Thank you to Paul Bourke for the helpful reference and formulae!

In this two part challenge, I cover beginShape(), endShape(), and texture(), TRIANGLE_STRIP, QUAD_STRIP, and more. I combine these geometry functions with the Toxiclibs physics library to simulate a waving flag (with a unikitty image texture!)

In this coding challenge, I attempt to create a "Fractal Spirograph" with Processing (Java). The visuals are inspired by images and explanation on C. J. Chen’s blog.

In this coding challenge, I simulate a "random walk" with vectors in p5.js, varying the distance of each step size. This is known as a "Lévy Flight" (named after french mathematician Paul Lévy.)

In this coding challenge, I simulate a "random walk" with the p5.js library. This video is part of the course Nature of Code at ITP, Tisch, NYU.

In this coding challenge, I use a collection of Obama Administration’s facebook images to create a “photo mosaic” of President Obama with Processing (Java).

In this coding challenge, I implement “Pixel Sorting” in Processing (Java). Using a “selection sort” algorithm, I sort the pixels of an image by brightness and hue.

In this coding challenge, I simulate a blob-like shape with wobbly edges using beginShape(), endShape(), polar coordinates, and perlin noise.

In this coding challenge, I show you how to visualization the Lorenz Attractor in Processing.

In this coding challenge, I attempt to code the Menger Sponge (fractals) using Processing.
