Featured Challenge:
#184 — Elastic Collisions

What happens when two circles collide in a p5.js canvas? In this video, I examine the math and implement idealized elastic collisions in a JavaScript physics simulation. This video supplements the Nature of Code book series in Chapter 6 which uses 3rd party physics libraries to handle collisions rather than a direct implementation.

steering behaviors

In this multi-part coding challenge, I create a system where autonomous steering agents evolve the behavior of eating food and avoiding poison.

Evolutionary Steering Behaviors

In this coding challenge, I look at extracting font path points from text in p5.js with p5.Font.textToPoints(). I render the text as particles with steering behaviors that react to the mouse.
