Now this is weird.
Given we can’t waste time I dug out a processing script I’d used before. I can’t recall where I got the original, or what changes I made, but it looks like I simplified it a lot and exported a series of frames to gifs. Stitched these together in FireWorks.
my favourite comic ever, one of my favourite comic artists and my (currently) favourite programming language together in my favourite MOOC!!!
the original image (moebius.jpg):
the processing code (sorry, no formatting):
float margin=128;
PImage M;
int DS=0;
void setup() {
M=loadImage("moebius.jpg");
size(1024, 768);
// set it as background so no holes will be in the final image
image(M, 0, 0);
}
// processing repeats calling draw() until exit() is called
void draw() {
float x, y, w, h;
if (DS<106) {
x=random(-margin, 1024-margin);
y=random(-margin, 768-margin);
w=random(margin, 3*margin);
h=w*3/4;
tint(255, random(64, 192));
image(M, x, y, w, h);
DS++;
} else {
save("moebius_is_DS106.jpg");
exit();
}
}
the result (moebius_is_DS106.jpg):
RIP Moebius
