Overview
“Here you will see how to configure the variables to create a graphical interface and thus modify the appearance of the generated drawing in real time.”
In this video lesson Julien Gachadoat addresses the topic: Compound Shapes 2, which is part of the Domestika online course: Intro to Creative Coding: Create Graphic Objects. Get started in creative programming and learn classic generative design algorithms to create animated words and shapes.
Partial transcription of the video
“So we will create here the variable fmin. We will set it to 0.2. I will report it. In the code. I always check that it works well. OK. And now. we will be able to change parameters here. So. try various techniques. So. for example. here. we can certainly set 0. Here. we begin with F set to 1. as you can see in this example. which corresponds to the dimension 350. and our square will shrink here. as you can see. to 1 pixel. So that's when F is zero. I can easily change this value here. for example. i can set it to 0.9. So. we will go from the original size to 100% of our square. to 90%. whil...”
