SHOOTMINJUNSHOOT

From Physical Programming

Initial Intention :: M50

Begining of the semester, we had intended to pick up a studio project that was done by joseline as the base of our physical programing project. The interest of that project was the emergent nature of human habitation in high density areas (such as kowloon walled city, HongKong - now demolished).

The following is the flowchart we came up with..

We experimented with Rhino scripting in attempt to obtain the desired effect..

However only one of us is familiar with Rhino and scripting. By the following weeks we started learning quartz composer and processing. This got us interested in experimenting with the new tools..

Processing :: Chimera

A program we wrote during processing class, is chimera. the circularity of the shape and colour is dictated by the mouse position, it depends on where in the screen the mouse is clicked. It's a real simple and short code.

Quartz Composer :: Cursordust

During one of the Quartz Composer class we wrote cursordust, a relatively simple program where the kaleidoscopic image animation resembling snow dust follows the mouse position and the particle size reacts according to the noise input. It got exciting because it actually reacts with a real time input.

This program took us to the direction of our final project. Quartz Composer was chosen in the end after exploring Rhino scripting and processing because it's an interface that's more easily understood by us (Jos can't get her head around scripting!!!! :P).

FINAL :: ShootMinjunShoot!!

Combining the particle system animation of cursordust and Scott's "Hunter and Prey" we started the shooting game, inspired by a try-for-fun "LaughMinjunLaugh" Quartz Composer program. The "Hunter and Prey" was used to illustrate the final intention although it was more of an animation rather than an interactive game intended.

The final version, ShootMinjunShoot
