PROGRAMMING
In order to bring concepts to life, one has to be able to code. Programming is an essential part of Creative Technology. Below are some of the programs that I wrote.
This program shows figures floating in space and bouncing around. The user can click and drag individual figures around. Click to download.
During the Algorithms course we did assignments that were for the most part a continuation of the programming course. The course was however more focussed on physics than the programming itself. For the end assignment we had to make a sketch that incorporated much of the aforementioned physics principles. Together with Jeroen Jansen van Rosendaal I made a sketch that allows you to burn leaves that fall from a tree. The leaves have flocking behaviour as if they get carried away by wind.
When developing a program, it is likely that some form of artificial intelligence is involved. In this program AI is used to create a small game. The blue car uses an A-star search algorithm to find its way through the maze to bottom-right corner. The red cars try to catch to blue car. As a player you can manipulate the maze by controlling traffic lights that will stop the cars. If the blue car reaches its destination, you win.
