a place to hold code

some code is here

some sketches are on the p5 web editor

Day 8 signed distance functions #genuary #genuary2023 #genuary8

I have never used sdf before. It was a very different approach for drawing shapes to the canvas.

I haven't used shaders yet either. They have seemed a conceptual jump too far. But after following

Piter Pasma's explanation about Signed Distance Functions on Youtube. I am finally starting to get it.

This little sketch is just something that was produced as I was hacking at the code to try and understand

what was happening and how the shapes are made. I still have a long road ahead to really understand and use it.

but it was a fun start. and the slow way of drawing to the canvas creates a nice artifact that looks a bit like a comet.
