Description
It Won't Go AwayUPDATE: Code is on Github: github.com/chaosfissure/glypht… . It won't recreate this thing exactly (or the chance of it doing so is pretty slim, at least), but it's a lot cleaner and more parametric. I hope ya'll get a kick from it or something XD
Some Python (not synth
) hackery to replicate some of Pasternak 's stuff. Certainly atypical, but I saw this and just had to write a version that did something like this, as I think it has quite a bit of use in various situations XDObviously this is not something I typically do, but I did feel that doing this had some use and potential future applications in things, so I figured I'd bite the bullet and work on it! Plus it's fun to do coding that does visual things like this XD

Even getting me high tonight (ohOoOo) won't help me understand this.

Nope, it's written in Python! The source code is provided in the description XD

Holy shit, it looks like me and my bro's code language....just much, much more complicated.

I love it! It reminds me a lot of the tattoo from Faith from Mirror's Edge

This is so cool, like lettering for a language out of a fantasy novel. Makes me want to try my hand at writing a language

That's why I'm writing something like this, I want to construct symbols that I could repurpose into some type of language in a game or something later on XD

That's awesome \^-^/ I hope you get the chance to!

Man, I remember when bBonicle came out back in the day and they had really cool comics in those LEGO magazines. That seems like a lifetime ago now XD

Very cool! Any chance you would put your code up as a Gist?

SquareWaves - I've uploaded the code to Github if you're interested in taking a look! Read the updated description for a link

how does this work because i'm really confused. can you explain this too me? please?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
There are two parts to this.
There is a grid of coordinates, representing the square blocks you see. These blocks are spaced apart a certain number of pixels, which makes them disconnected from each other.
The second part is all RNG. I'm using a seeded RNG to determine if any given block should be visible or invisible, as well as how it should connect to the blocks surrounding it on the grid.

Python? How so? What are de codez?
Nice job, by the way.

It's pretty much just breaking up into grids of pixels, then randomizing probabilities for how frequently it tries to go left, right, and down...at least that's what I did!

ThoughtWeaver - Code is now on github for all your needs to see how it works and stuff

I look forward to reading and messing around with it.

Perhaps. I may want to have more "aesthetic" results that differ more significantly for a font.

Okay. I just thought this would look cool in my artworks (which tend to be of a typographic nature)

Nice!! Amazingly similar, makes me want to post more!

Hah, well I thank you for the inspiration

structure synth is super neat, plus it's 3D... this should be done in context free really... It's really cool how everyone has a different way of achieving similar things

There's no denying Synth's use to make cool buildings and geometry - I've used it before for a 3D render, and you've done many cool things with it as well.
That's the cool thing about programming in my opinion, there are many ways things can be done..and it does involve creativity to do things well, or in an interesting way!

interesting. whether it is possible to use the music...
