I have been playing around with Processing since 2002 when it was still in alpha. I even had a couple of workshops trying to learn it, one held by the master himself, Casey Reas. But I can’t seem to wrap my head around in its programming language. Maybe because my intentions were too ambitious?

So I go back to the drawing board every once in a while, with honest intentions of learning it again. This morning was one of those days. I went back and launched the Processing environment and rummaged through my old sketches. I found this one, which I will call my “first sketch”. Although it is not really my first.. but it is my first since I started this blog and since I started counting. So here is a screen capture of it:

Both these sketches are based on this formula, which I got from fellow ivrean David Lu  (unfortunately his site has been offline for a while now), which he got from somewhere else (I forget where):

x = x * cos(n) + c
y = y * sin(n) + c
n += c
c += 0.001

So there.. sketch #001. Will upload the full sketch when I manage to figure out how to do that in wordpress.
