Truchet tiles+flood fill

Inspired by Ned Batchelder's post, I'm playing around with Truchet tiles. I wrote some flood fill code, too. It's amusing that one can use an "incomplete" set of tiles, to get different visual effects.

Particles move according to various, changing rules. Each particle makes its own sound based on its circumstances.

new video: leftright

I've had the idea to do this kind of thing for a long time, so I'm glad to have it done.

A short video. I walked back and forth in front of the camera many times, and then I sorted the frames of the video based on the position of my red hat. The audio is a short guitar bit I recorded, cut into pieces; the pieces were looped to created a bunch of layers of sound. The stereo effect is created by delaying the two channels of each piece by varying amounts, rather than the more standard amplitude difference method.

I had intended to make the audio the same way as the video: do a stereo recording (using a stereo mic setup) of some sounds moving back and forth, then cut up the sound into piece and sort by "leftness". I figured out how to measure the "lag" between two signals, but it was too short, and didn't actually correlate with the stereo position very well. I'll have to try it again with a pair of fairly widely separated microphones so the lag is a little larger.
