Random Entry: Creating and Adding Custom Patterns to Inkscape

Wednesday, November 12. 2008

Stumbling through the quagmire of the internet I came across a little project by Lukas Vojir to collect a series of user contributed "monsters" made using Processing.

It has been a while since I played with Processing, so dusting it off, and grabbing a few of the examples (most notably Blink Eye Monster) I created Ouroboros - the processing monster that eats its own tail.

Just click and drag to get his to chase the mouse pointer, and when you let go it will chase its own tail and start eating it:

Ouroboros

Once he has eaten himself, just click and drag to regrow.

The source code (PDE file) can be found here in the downloads section.
