Processing step two

After looking at the data types again I have decided that I would like to take the outside temperature, and the three main inside temperatures, and represent those different data feeds in the style of molecules and particles. This would show how that when the temperature rises, the particles become more energised and mobile, therefore move all over the window in a swarm like fashion, as opposed to when they are colder, where they would have less energy so wouldn't move as much and stay together.

To get an idea of previous examples I visited a site http://www.openprocessing.org/ where there is a large collection of processing sketches. By searching for swarms and particles under their tag system I found a couple of really good, but really out of my league, sketches which show what processing is capable of. First is a sketch called Gravity swarm by Claudio Gonzales. http://openprocessing.org/visuals/?visualID=2363



Secondly is another good example of swarming behaviour called Molecule soup by Stingingeyes. http://www.openprocessing.org/visuals/?visualID=8675
