Ruby on Acid, continued...

Came up with an elaborate setup to step through all the permutations of an array of generators, and was getting so much repetition that I switched back to picking randomly. :P Dropped the increment and skip generators from the pool for this run because, frankly, they tended to make things ugly. I have a couple plans to “mute” or otherwise influence their effects, though, so I may be using them further in the future.

A YAML dump of the generators is embedded in each picture, so if you squint you can read what went into each.

MetaGenerator...

I’m getting an insane amount of variety out of very little code.

require 'wx'

  WIDTH = 480
  HEIGHT = 480

  def on_init
 
    @f = RubyOnAcid::MetaFactory.new
    @f.factories << RubyOnAcid::FlashFactory.new
    @f.factories << RubyOnAcid::LoopFactory.new
    @f.factories << RubyOnAcid::RandomFactory.new
    @f.factories << RubyOnAcid::SineFactory.new
    @f.factories << RubyOnAcid::SkipFactory.new
    
    @resetter = RubyOnAcid::SkipFactory.new(0.999)
    
    #Containing frame.
    frame = Wx::Frame.new(nil, :size => [WIDTH, HEIGHT])
    frame.show
 
    #Displays drawing.
    window = Wx::Window.new(frame, :size => [WIDTH, HEIGHT])
 
    #Animate periodically.
    t = Wx::Timer.new(self, 55)
    evt_timer(55) {animate(window)}
    t.start(33)
 
  end
 
  def animate(window)
     window.paint do |surface|
       surface.pen = Wx::Pen.new(
           Wx::Colour.new(
             @f.within(:red, 0, 255).to_i,
             @f.within(:green, 0, 255).to_i,

             @f.within(:alpha, 50, 255).to_i
           ),
           @f.within(:width, 1, 5).to_i
       )
       surface.draw_line(
          @f.within(:x, 0, WIDTH).to_i,
          @f.within(:y, 0, HEIGHT).to_i,
          @f.within(:x2, 0, WIDTH).to_i,
          @f.within(:y2, 0, HEIGHT).to_i
       )
     end
     @f.reset_assignments if @resetter.boolean(:reset)
  end

end

app = MyApp.new
app.main_loop

Guess I'm freaking amazing, then...

We are all motivated by a keen desire for praise, and the better a man is, the more he is inspired to glory.

Yeah, suck it, Kafka!

Oh, for Pete's sake...

This is what my evening has been like…
