Show HN: Artificial Ivy in the Browser(da.nmcardle.com) This is just a goofy thing I cooked up over the weekend. It's kind of like a screensaver, but with more reading and sliders. (It's not terribly efficient, so expect phone batteries to take a hit!) |
Geotropism basically makes plants grow away from the source of gravity, and phototropism makes them grow towards light (and that is usually reversed for roots).
Probably an automated heuristic, you might want to send an email to mods so they can reverse it.
I am going to put the blame on Firefox and Linux Mint but it's honestly impressive how a simple animated simulation can do this.
It's pretty CPU-heavy because it's constantly creating and updating SVG elements. I may attempt to rewrite sometime with WebGL and shaders :)
I would love to be able to control speed. I am curious what the waves would look like at very high speed.
As a wallpaper, a slow speed would be great.
Nice work.
oh I think you mean the filter on the game portion?
