It has been a long 3 months of work; time spanning three terms and multiple projects and at long last, it is done: The Final Project.

Well folks, I’m back, and now with new menus and bug fixes! I never realized how many there could be until I started really trying to break things (like clicking a button over and over and over to see what happened; always fun). However, things are coming along and are working better than ever. I’m really feeling good about where the project is at the moment!

Check it out if you have a moment!

To the Project

In the realm of game development, when a game has “gone gold,” it is fully done and ready to ship to consumers.

My code for my final project is now silver.

Hey folks, it has been far too long since I last posted on here! Part of the reason was due to a shift in focus of the project and due to a need to pound out code. The other part is that my final project has been regularly devouring my time (I’m generally at school working from around 10 in the morning until 11 or midnight, if not later) and that has prevented me from posting updates.

However, I have something to show now!

In the process of developing the components for my final project, I spend a good bit of time developing these algebraic equations that could then be used by themselves or in patterns. The end result is an extremely powerful pair of arrays that I can do just about anything with. Check it out after the link

My generative trees project, which I have been tracking on here, has finally been finished. Not only can you generatively draw trees, but you can also grab and influence the branches.

I have been working on an application to generate trees in preparation for my term project in Object Oriented Programming (flash) and Designing Physical Interfaces. It has been a lot of work and not the easiest to say the least; especially in as3. However, I recently had a bit of a breakthrough.

(more…)

This term, I’m working on a project for both my Designing Physical Interfaces class and my OOP (Object Oriented Programming) class. My idea was to create a “virtual gardener” program for a multi-touch display that would allow one to prune, adjust its growth and more. Not just that, but I want the tree to be fractal driven so they are different every time the program is run or the tree is generated. In preparation for this project, I started spending time with L-systems, or Liedermeyer Systems.

On Erik Spiekermann’s blog, I found a link to something very interesting, called Amaztype. The site asks you to choose one of Amazon’s different databases, media type (book, cd, dvd, etc.), title or author and asks for a search term. What it then does is searches Amazon’s database for that word, gathering sample images and data when it finds it. Finally, the site generates the search term you entered using the media it found. Tis a rather fun and interesting page!
