All the credit for this one has to go to Memo Akten and his wicked fluid dynamics library.

source code

A deceptively simple system of spheres within spheres. As used for my “Weightless” video.

source code

Can’t see anything? Patience grasshopper. This is slightly different from the others in that it is a static piece. It takes a while to generate each one. Click (and wait) to re-generate.

The work of Marius Watz, who wrote the foreword to my book, is nothing short of brilliant. So I hope he’d be utterly appalled by my cack-handed “tribute” to his Illuminations.

This will only make sense if you remember a very old Adam & Joe sketch (approx 2 mins into this vid). “Sometimes there’s so much beauty in the world I feel like I can’t take it, like my heart’s going to cave in …”.

I’ll leave it with you to supply something suitably banging for him to dance to.

This, approx 15x bigger and more detailed, ended up as the cover to the book. I love it as a print, but the movement is kinda nice too.

source code unavailable, sorry

You need to interact with this one a little.

source code

I’m still debating whether to post my video Frosti, and source, as part of this 100, but I’m not sure if I’m ready to give away all my secrets yet. Perhaps it warrants a full tutorial sometime. Although, between the code for this, and “75: Shimmer”, you’ve already got all the ingredients you’d need to put it together.

source code

Conway’s Game Of Life (GOL) might almost be regarded as a coders cliché, but it’s not the maths, it’s what you do with it that matters. Cliché or not, it’s explored at length in the book.

No source code, but you can probably work it out if you wanted to try something similar. Clue: it’s Sutcliffe Pentagons again.

source code

Essentially a port of one of my old Flash experiments into Processing. Ripping off oneself is a perfectly acceptable practice.

There’s a chapter on fractals in the book that will walk you through this code.

The Sutcliffe fractal, in action once more.

source code

Alan’s Sutcliffe’s marvellous fractal, which I keep returning to, gets half a chapter’s worth of attention in the book. You can see many different visualisations of this structure just by going back through previous posts, but this is what it looks like in its rawest form.

source code

The same Cellular Automata, but rendered at pixel size.

source code

Terribly simple bit of P3D.

source code

Custom Cellular Automata, created for the book.

Waving, not drowning.
