Falling letters in processing
Posted by Nikolaus Gradwohl
My latest processing-sketch features some letters that are dropping from the top of the window to the bottom and form a word.

plasma in processing
Posted by Nikolaus Gradwohl
I wrote another simple and pretty useless (i mean simple, pretty and useless :-)) sketch in processing. I wanted to see how the noise function reacts so i wrote a sketch that draws plasma. Press any key to change between color and grayscale mode.

3D-Scanner
Posted by Nikolaus Gradwohl
Today i managed to make a scan using my conmark L2000 3D-Scanner that looks at least similar to the object i tried to scan :-)
it's not quite what i hoped it to be yet, but at least it's a start.

Using an arduino as a AVR Programmer
Posted by Nikolaus Gradwohl
I managed to use an arduino as an isp programmer for my ATTiny13. I first i tried to use the avr910 program described in this blogpost from Randall Bohn, but avrdude could not flash my hex file :-/
then i found a newer version of the code that emulates an avrisp at googlecode

Set operations on ruby arrays
Posted by Nikolaus Gradwohl
Ruby provides some very interesting set operations on arrays.
given the two arrays A and B wich look like this
A = ["A", "B", "C", "D"]
B = ["C", "D", "E"]
There are three set operations we can use that union, intersection and difference.
Union
A | B
contains all elements from both sets without doublicates. So this results in ["A", "B", "C", "D", "E"]
Difference
A - B
contains all elements from set A that are not in set B. So this results in ["A", "B"]
Intersection
A & B
contains all elements that are in set A and in set B. So this results in ["C", "D"]

32 pages so far, i added another section and i finished some of the examples for the book. One example for the chapter on interaction will be a litte game. The player has to type some random letters that appear on the screen. After 20 sections the number of found letters is displayed as the score.
