«Recursion-toy-like vines with Pen» by uiae

on 04 Sep'11 20:16 in gui

quick port of the "vines" setting with drawing style "segmented" of recursion toy (by soulwire) original js code

This is just a quick port to SuperCollider. Original idea, code, etc. by soulwire.

the experiments on your site are really interesting too...

uiae user 06 Sep'11 12:08

not my site unfortunatelly. but interesting nonetheless :)

vividsnow user 06 Sep'11 17:18

this site intended to be community, so everyone is a owner )

robertol80 user 07 Sep'11 09:46

I mean this site: http://soulwire.co.uk/experiments/recursion-toy/ ;)

vividsnow user 07 Sep'11 10:25

indeed )

rukano user 30 Nov'11 12:39

really cool. I'm working on a LuaAV version and send some triggers via OSC from SuperCollider for the visuals :)
