This is the result of my attempt to create a variation of my line wave script which waves in two dimensions. I started anew and used some particle systems I’d started a while ago. With a spring class which holds two particles together all the particles could be chained together. Hiding the particles and springs and wrapping the particle loop in a shape method with a curve vertex for each created a wobbling line. Without a background function the line continually drew each frame on the screen.

It’s not exactly what I had in mind, but I like how it turned out. I have a few different variations I may post and will keep playing with it. I’ll also have a few desktop wallpapers available from this script soon as soon as I decide how to set up and organize a wallpaper section on my site.

    really nice creations, curious if you have made any of your processing code public?

    Thank you. I’m a little hesitant to release the script for works which I don’t really consider finished. I have a couple little things in my blog and the code for one of my bigger projects, WikiWeb, is available. I will release more of my scripts soon though.

    you could try to make a screen saver out of it?

    What a wonderful thing you have created here. I am speechless and awed. Wonderful. It amazes me how math, science and art are all on the same palette these days and your efforts are an excellent example of that.
