Todays daily graphic I'm getting familiar with grids (in shoebot), Vector maths from the planar library .. this started from the grid example from shoebot / nodebox.
Shoebot Code Below the fold
``` {: .brush:python} """ Grid of arrows that point towards the mouse pointer.
Uses planar library for Vec2, angles. """
Not sure how practical it is, but will try and upload a new graphic everyday .. to start with will probably be quite basic :) Here is the first, some moving granular thingies..
Shoebot code:
``` {: .brush:python} import random from math import sin, cos
size(800, 800) colours=ximport("colors")
def draw …
Recently I had to look at an issue where the behaviour on windows was subtly different to that on linux... unfortunately most potential users are on Windows so it's not good enough to just write them off :)
This workflow was quite good for checking python internals on different versions of …

https://github.com/extellisys/docker-image-apt-cacher-ng
Running the above, runs apt-cache-ng and exposes it's port as 3142.
This is great for a LAN, if you want to use this for caching on …
Back in the deep dark past (2004-2007) I worked on a 3D game for phones of that era (before iphone, android). I recently found some of the test files for the engine, here are some videos.
Very low poly racetrack
The ubiquitous cube
Spacekid in the spacestation corridors

Here is my very late post on LGM 2014!
Back in April I went to Leipzig for my first in-the-flesh meeting of Shoebot devs ..
I met with Ricardo + to collaborate on a workshop on shoebot. To make it more fun we hadn't decided what to do it on ! In the …
Playing with python, zeromq and Gtk, I made this code to send graphics commands to several windows.
Commands are sent over a zeromq PUB socket, the windows recieve them using zeromq SUB.
Only a few commands are wrapped as it's a proof of concept.
I'll clean it up and abstract …
Perlin noise is pretty cool, you can use it to generate realistic looking clouds or mountains.
Here's a bot for shoebot I made a while back that uses perlin noise to generate some nice circles.
You'll need shoebot and the lib "noise" installed into your environment for it to work …
