Circular Associations - D
Last Sunday, I created a bunch of variations in a design series I called “Circular Associations”. This was variation D. Source code for this variation can be found here. Again, not my cleanest/best code ever, but that day was for play, not optimization.
This GIF is one in a set named “Circular Associations”
Every single possible arrangement. 4x4 array. black or white.
Let me know if you find any bug.
ArrayList<Form> formCollection = new ArrayList<Form>();
int maxForms = 65536;
int counter = 0;
void setup() {
size(2560, 2560);
background(0);
frameRate(10);
for (int i=2; i<width-4; i+=width/256) {
for (int j=2; j<height-4; j+=height/256) {
if (formCollection.size () < maxForms) {
Form form = new Form(i,j);
if (!formCollection.contains(form)) {
formCollection.add(form);
counter++;
} else {
break;
}
}
}
}
println(“Size of formCollection =”, formCollection.size());
for (int i=0; i<formCollection.size (); i++) {
Form form = formCollection.get(i);
form.update();
}
}
void draw() {
}
class Form {
int[][] form = new int[4][4];
int xpos, ypos;
int s = 2;
color colour = color(100);
Form (int _x, int _y) {
xpos = _x;
ypos = _y;
}
void update() {
populate();
display(xpos,ypos);
}
void populate() {
for (int x=0; x<4; x++) {
for (int y=0; y<4; y++) {
form[x][y] = int(random(0, 2));
}
}
}
void display(int xpos,int ypos) {
for (int x=0; x<8; x+=2) {
for (int y=0; y<8; y+=2) {
for (int x2=0; x2<4; x2++) {
for (int y2=0; y2<4; y2++) {
form[x2][y2] = int(random(0, 2));
if (form[x2][y2] == 0) {
colour = color(255);
} else {
colour = color(0);
}
}
}
//stroke(255, 0, 0);
noStroke();
fill(colour);
rect(xpos+x, ypos+y, s, s);
}
}
}
}
the fact that there are animals who can see colors that i cant which means that there are colors that exist that it is literally impossible for me to envision is such fucking bullshit that i wanna rip open a couch and eat it

Humans have 3 types of rods for processing color (red green and blue). Mantis Shrimp have 16.

Fucking shrimp. I will NOT be jealous of food.
After years of global searching and processing human response, the internet has finally completed its original task of finding the most perfect cat video possible.
oh my god

Unmut this 😭😭😭
I hardly EVER reblog cats, so please, please, believe me when I say you need to watch this
Oh my god I watched it muted and wasn’t impressed but then unmuted oh my god
You have to understand, Patty Cake Cats is the pinnacle of cat video achievement. It is my weapons-grade, keep-in-reserve cheerup video of all time. (My partner and I tend to yell “Patty CAAAAAAKE!” whenever we really, really want something.)
Usually, I prefer cat vids on mute, but these guys….
@belovedbright have you seen Danson Le Capucine in English?

Autonomous Trap 001
“What you’re looking at is a salt circle, a traditional form of protection—from within or without—in magical practice. In this case it’s being used to arrest an autonomous vehicle—a self-driving car, which relies on machine vision and processing to guide it. By quickly deploying the expected form of road markings—in this case, a No Entry glyph—we can confuse the car’s vision system into believing it’s surrounded by no entry points, and entrap it.”

using salt circle motor runes to trap driving AI is the most cyberpunk thing I’ve ever seen

The Game Cube can be hit with a sledgehammer and work just fine. The Nintendo DS was specifically designed to be able to survive a 1.5 meter (five foot) drop onto solid concrete without breaking, and one of the company’s bigwigs wouldn’t let it go past the design phase until the design team could guarantee it could survive the drop at least 10 times. In fact, Nintendo products have such a reputation for being impossible to break through normal means that they spawned the term “Nintendium”—an all-purpose phrase given to pieces of technology that survive extreme punishment. For example, take the Gulf War Game Boy, an original Game Boy console that survived having a freaking bomb dropped on it.
Nintendo never advertises their products as being durable, they don’t brag about their Game Boys being bomb-proof or their consoles being tough enough to survive being hit by a car. They just expect their customers to be human and include features to prepare for that humanity. While other companies decide that they’re nice by including a cover to protect the screen of the $600 phone you just bought in case you drop it, Nintendo just builds a device that can survive being dropped in the first place and doesn’t make a big deal about it. Because that’s how a real company does business.
