Four-thousand software agents live and die to compose this sketch. Simple logic controls their lives. They are sensitive to the amount of dark pixels directly surrounding them and try to move towards the lighter ones. By clicking the sketch to focus, then moving your mouse you can control their environment and sensitivity to overcrowding. The agents respawn in a randomly selected uncrowded location after death.

Interaction: Mouse over the sketch to see it in action.
MouseX: Crowd sensitivity.
MouseY: Accumulation.

about:

This site is a showcase of experimental work done in the pursuit of software and design literacy. All original work is by me, Rick Brauer. An effort has been made to make the site cross browser compatible and valid. It seems to look and act nearly the same in the browsers I've tested it in (IE6, IE7, FF2, FF3) and it's nearly valid. If you have any problems or suggestions don't hesitate to contact me. Web development was done with JEdit, some notepad, and EasyPHP. You can view the source of the site with embedded CSS and PHP. The site is hosted at http://studentpages.scad.edu/~rbraue20/. I hope to get the domain pointed at an IP address at some point instead of using GoDaddy's masking which uses an iframe.

Processing is a Java framework geared toward artistic people and beginning programmers. Until further notice, all the Processing sketches on this site were developed and tested on a system with a single AMD Opteron 240 (1.4Ghz) with 512Mb of RAM AMD Phenom 965 and 4Gs of DDR3.
