Re: Recursive Drawing
#62It's fun, but needs colors, and maybe some optional randomness. http://i.imgur.com/ForAV.png
Agree with the colors. That would turn your screenshot there into a Jackson Pollock :). It could also use some more base shapes, I think (triangle, line).
Re: Recursive Drawing
#63Do yourself a favor, and watch Toby Schachman (the author) explaining his ITP thesis. This is just one expression of a larger vision for alternative programming which he describes very succinctly. These two videos include him and the slides: http://itp.nyu.edu/thesis/spring2012_archives/thesis-Heching... http://itp.nyu.edu/thesis/spring2012_archives/thesis-Heching... More angles and other great videos available at ht…
...this is by Toby Schachman (you knew that right?) just check out the github author http://github.com/electronicwhisper
Re: Recursive Drawing
#64this. is. awesome. I can't wait for some Schachman projects to end up in my IDE (imagine manipulating code paths like those fractal trees...) <3
Re: Recursive Drawing
#65This might actually be cool, but if you do not watch the video (read: RTFM) you will most likely think something like "This is an april's fool, right?" and immediately close the window. At least that's what happened to me until I saw the comments in here.
Anyways, watching the video was fun. Doing it myself is rather boring. :-/
Re: Recursive Drawing
#66would you mind putting a 'line' primitive ? it can lead to all sorts of very weird (but healthy!) fun. beautiful project!!!
Hold the shift key while resizing a rectangle, and you can make your own line :)
Re: Recursive Drawing
#67I think you are onto creating a graphical programming language.
You implemented: -variables (shapes in left windows) -objects (collection of variables, the left column, pass by reference) -addition (drag in the middle) -unset (delete) -while(1) loop -multiplication (resize)
I don't know yet where rotation fits into the picture. Maybe its just that "primitive types" in a graphical programming language would be more complex, they could be described with -shape -size -orientation -position
I think I have a use-case for you. Maybe we could talk about it thalter at zupa hu
Congrats, fascinating!

#68Doesn't work on Opera! :-/
Re: Recursive Drawing
#69Earlier quoted context omitted.
"nice page sliding animation" vs "[losing] all of your data" does not sound like a difficult decision to me.
Contrary to Chrome which pops the history stack instantly, Safari's "nice page sliding animation" is completely reversable if you don't release the gesture and "put things back in place". The animation is not a gimmick, it has a very real usability purpose.
actually, there's an animation on the side of the page in chrome that's reversible as well
