Summary

This is an experiment using a random walk to draw shapes. Adjusting theta results in a very organic or procedural drawing. The random walk stays in the geometry by using a point in polygon test.

The introduction to Reactive Programming you've been missing

Tuning Sonic Pi for best performance

Several of the programs I write for Sonic Pi push it fairly close to the limit when run on a Raspberry Pi. This note gives some tips on to how to maximise the performance on that platform. Of course, if you run Sonic Pi on Mac OSX,or a Windows PC then the performance is much better on these more powerful platforms and some of the issues may not arise.

Over-clocking your Pi

By increasing the voltage applied to the Pi processor, and running it at a higher clock frequency than normal it is possible to achive significant gains in performance. The down side is that you may reduce the lifetime of your Pi. There are five levels that can be configured: None, Modest, Medium, High and Turbo. I routinely run my Raspberry Pis with Medium Overclocking and have noticed no ill effects on any of them.

If you wish to apply some over-clocking you do so by running the program raspi-config from the command line. Having logged on, from the command line before you start the gra

A mashup of Map Projection Distortions and transitions using the D3.js extended geographic projections plugin.

A comparison of map projections by four different types of distortion:

Acc. 40° 150% – The Acceptance index is a numerical measure that summarizes overall projection distortion, in this case with a maximum angular distortion of 40° and areal distortion of up to 150%.
Scale – The weighted mean error for overall scale distortion.
Areal – The weighted mean error for areal distortion.
Angular – The mean angular deformation index.

Lower is better. Data transcribed from the Natural Earth Projection by @mbostock.

1 Welcome to Sonic Pi

Welcome friend :-)

Welcome to Sonic Pi. Hopefully you're as excited to get started making your own sounds as I am to show you. It's going to be a really fun ride where you'll learn all about music, synthesis, programming, composition, performance and more.

But wait, how rude of me! Let me introduce myself - I'm
