Gorilla Recap 7 And again lots of new things happened in the generative art scene this week! In this installment of Gorilla Recaps: we have a look at Piter Pasma's Universal Rayhatcher, stay up to date with Raph's creative code news #99, observe the launch of Alba.art, and many other updates!
An Introduction to the Javascript Spread Operator In this post we have a look at the Javascript spread syntax, a powerful feature that was introduced with ES6 and which trivializes many tasks that deal with handling iterables.
An Algorithm for Particle Systems with Collisions In this post we will program a particle system in p5js from scratch. We'll mainly dicuss object oriented programming and delve into the necessary physics concepts to compute collisions, all while implementing a full particle simulation with P5JS.
Gorilla Recap 6 This week we released a new token on FxHash, programmed a particle system in collaboration with ChatGPT, and looked back onto 2 years of making generative art on FxHash. We also read some interesting articles about generative art!
Making Generative Blockchain Art on FxHash: A brief Retrospective This post is a brief retrospective in which I look back onto the past two years of making code based blockchain art. I tackle some lessons that I've learned, some of the emotional struggles that I've experienced and conclude with some tips to grapple with this fast paced environment.
Programming a Particle System with ChatGPT You've probably heard about ChatGPT, and you've probably heard that it can write code. In this post we're taking it for a spin and explore a practical example - we'll make it code a full-fledged particle system from scratch! Let's see what the best prompts are for this purpose!
