Particle Shells

This sketch is by far, one of the simplest ones I’ve ever made. All it is is a bunch of particles displayed as circles and attracted to each other as though they are connected by springs. This alone is pretty boring to look at for more than a few seconds, but, if you plot every point that every particle is ever at, it ends up a lot more interesting.

So first of all, adding one particle doesn’t display anything. Two particles basically draws a line. Three seems to always draw a rounded square thing. Four becomes some weird, symmetrical, amorphous thing. It’s only after adding five or more particles that it becomes more interesting and complex. Try it out for yourself!

Check it out here:

Click to add a new particle at the mouse’s position. ‘c’ deletes all the particles and ‘v’ clears the screen.

    hey aj. Basically, pretend i post a link to your blog in one of my blog posts. WordPress automatically posts a comment onto your blog with an excerpt of my blog post that had your link in it. Also, i think from now on, we should put these conversations on the armensqs blog, in the “uncategorized” category.
