In progress today: a glitched-out Tumblr Theme I’m calling “Cluster”. Completely randomized placement and rotation, click-and-rearrange posts, unconnected “like” buttons for chance-based social sharing.

MS Cave Paint

Spent far too much of the weekend making this version of MS Paint in Processing.js where you are thrown back 17,000 years to Lascaux Cave.

Try MS Cave Paint for yourself!

Haptic Games Resources

I’ve added a few resources for the haptic and non-visual games research:

Please note that both of these are messy, working “sketchbooks” during the project’s development. As the tests are revised and finalized for release, the code and other files will be tidied.

How Many Lines of Code Did I Write This Year: 2013

My annual tally of my code-writing for the year:

Male	155	65.68%
Female	81	34.32%

Perhaps not perfect (I think too much PHP, not enough HTML or Python), but a pretty good indication!

How Many Lines of Code Did You Write This Year?

Filling out my pre-tenure paperwork (blech) I started to wonder. I sure wasn’t going to count them by hand, so I wrote a ~~Processig sketch~~ bash script to find out. Result: 208 sketches for a total of 20,944 lines or 590,670 characters! (2010: 232 sketches, 19,786 lines, 563,083 characters; 2012 so far: 9 sketches, 879 lines, 27,533 characters)

UPDATE:
The previous version used a Processing sketch to find the information, which seemed poetic. However, it seems that Java doesn’t do file handling very cleanly (curse you File variable). As I went to bed, it seemed a bash script would be much cleaner and likely faster, so I got up today and wrote one. Sorry Windows users, this is likely Mac/Linux only. You can still download the Processing sketch and try it yourself.
