Litte Pictureframe is Watching You

Nikolaus Gradwohl2011-03-06T04:46:00+01:00

I found a cheap digital picture frame at a local electronics store a while ago and searched a project for it. So i installed 60 jpegs with eyes looking in different directions on the pictureframe and started an endless slideshow. Now the picture frame sits on his shelf and is carefully watching whats going on in our livingroom.

little picture frame

To generate the eyes I wrote a short processing sketch that generates a new frame every time a key is pressed and saves it in the sketchfolder.

void setup() {
  size(768,480,P2D);
  smooth();
}

float d = random(360);


void draw() {
  background(0);
  fill(255);
  ellipse(284, 240, 200, 400);
  ellipse(484, 240, 200, 400);
  fill(0);


  float da = d;
  float db = d;

  float a = radians( da );
  float b = radians( db );

  ellipse(284 + cos(a) * 60, 240 + sin(a)*160, 80, 80);
  ellipse(484 + cos(b) * 60, 240 + sin(b)*160, 80, 80);
}

void keyPressed() {
  d = random(360);
  redraw();
  saveFrame();
}

This is a small collection of "Hello World!"-Programs - One for each letter of the alphabet. Ada for A, Boo for B, C++ for C, and so on. Special thanks to the stackoverflowers who helped me with Q, U and Y :-)

Ada

with Text_IO; use Text_IO;
procedure Hello is
begin
    Put_Line("Hello World!");
end Hello;

Boo

print("Hello World!")

C++

#include <iostream>

int main( int argc, char** argv ) {
    std::cout << "Hello World!" << std::endl;
    return 0;
}

import std.stdio;

void main(string[] args) {
    writefln("Hello World!");
