I have worked with particle systems a lot in processing, openframeworks and blender, so I had to experiment with one in ronin, exploring how particle states can be calculated in ronins lisp dialect.

For this animation I used the new ellipse command in ronin and created some retro style neon vector line art

The neon line was created by drawing the shape twice first with a higher line width and a low opacity then again with a linewidth of 1 and full opacity to add the glow around the line

I added two commands to the ronin library for creating colors (rgba ..) and (hsla ..), now it is a lot easier to animate colors or choose them programmatically

I created a fractal using a recursive function and animated the rotation angles

I worte a ronin script that traces the paths of a restless ghost trying to figure a way out of the screen

I created some rotating flower shapes to create layers of colors that slowly mix into a colorfull circle similar to batik t-shirts from the 60's

I created some translucent recursive trees that fade away to the right using ronin

for this ronin experiment I combined the pixel transformation functions with the animation event handler to scale and rotate the previous frame. this creates a rotating vortex and everything drawn on the screen is sliding into the void slowly

ronin switched from an amiation loop to a event based animation system which allow cool stuff like initalizing code for the animation or reference objects that get preserved between frames. And it also makes it a lot easier to interact between the animation callback function and other event sources like osc events or mouseclicks

I used the brand new and really awesome affine transformation features to create an anmation in Ronin
