Snow via Javascript & Canvas – Tis the Season

snow

After playing with the settings in my experiments I found a few settings I liked and wanted to develop further. The first was snow! An added bonus I was able to work on a project just for the holidays and used much of this code in it! I looked around the web and saw a [...]

Link: Close Pixelate · David DeSandro

I saw this script back when David put it out there and was very impressed, but totally forgot where I’d seen it. Working lots with canvas and imageData recently and have been trying to remember where I’d seen this awesome experiment using it, I wanted to shout it. And now he’s linking to Ben Keens [...]

Interactive Physics Animations Javascript Canvas 03

canvas03

This iteration really isn’t that big, but I figured baby steps may be the way to go here. We’re just giving the first circle a random position. The other dots are positioned relative to the first one still. interactive physics animations via javascript & canvas | 03. $(function () {     var canvas, context, [...]

Interactive Physics Animations Javascript Canvas 02

Adding more circles, each a multiple of the first circle’s coordinates. I like the effect of having them all move in unison.

A More Interactive Portfolio

Picture 2

I think a portfolio is something that should be very interactive and intuitive. Check out what that has led to: circlecube’s interactive pog portfolio. I’ve been toying with trying to get something that was fun to look at, but also showed some work. Here is a first look at my Interactive portfolio of work which [...]

Interactive Generative Art Series – 08 – multiple lines scalable

gen-art-8-01

Well, so much for blogging each step in my process of creating this generative art series. I took a few steps in this iteration since the last one. But it was all in the spirit of one step. First I wanted to abstract the duplication of each ball/line so that it didn’t require copying blocks [...]

Interactive Generative Art Series – 07 – multiple lines

gen-art-multi-lines 01

To make it more interesting and give more depth and texture to the display, I wanted to have more lines than one, so I’m now going with two for starters. Eventually I’d like to get up to a dozen or maybe even have them randomly self populate and die over time. Adding one more isn’t [...]

Interactive Generative Art Series – 06 – lineStyle

gen-art-06-linestyle-2

The last example in this series discussed getting the anchor to move in a way that our ball would paint more interesting and we worked on restricting the colors to a certain RGB range. This one is a very simple change, but has a pretty significant effect. We’re just editing the cap style of our [...]

    Adobe-like Arrow Headers | CSS-Tricks

    Zero images is something that always gets me excited, I really like these arrow button styles! I like the css used more and the hover/active states too, nice css3 transitions. via Adobe-like Arrow Headers | CSS-Tricks.

    Link: Responsive Images: How they Almost Worked and What We Need

    Mat discusses the options for getting responsive images along with responsive designs. We can use various means (server-side, client-side, mobile-first, html5 data attributes, cookies…), but none are fully satisfactory, especially with new browsers prefetching images before cookies can be set or html is even fully read and parsed. He states that bandwidth sniffing is… a [...]
