#A small Ruby-Processing example merged together by Dan Mayer
What is it?
http://ashkenas.com/codework/ruby-processing.html
http://wiki.github.com/jashkenas/ruby-processing
Where did this code come from?
I merged and modified two projects...
The excellent, Slides, Code, and PDF from "Art of Code"
http://www.meetup.com/dcruby/messages/8233735/
A great example of Penrose Snowflake L-Systems using ruby-processing
http://learning-ruby-processing.blogspot.com/2009/11/penrose-snowflake-l-systems-using-ruby.html
What did you do?
I basically wanted to drawn randomly sized snowflakes of random complexity until the whole screen turned white. So taking the snowflake example that drew a single snowflake and modifying it to draw N snowflakes. I used code from the Art of Code presentation because it had nice loops, methods for screen capture, and a simple way to let the mouse restart the action.
Cool I want to make my own... Fork this project and play around or check out the Ruby-Processing getting started guide
http://wiki.github.com/jashkenas/ruby-processing/getting-started
How do I make this example work?
* install the latest version of ruby-processing
* https://github.com/jashkenas/ruby-processing
* rp5 run snow.rb
* Controls
* Press 's' to take a screenshot
* Click your mouse to clear the screen and start over
* Press Escape to quit
