Algorithm for Computers 0

Result	Algorithm
	Filling an array with random points in an ascending interval and connecting those with triangles. random_lines_asc.pde

Result	Algorithm
	Executing the algorithm mirrored with different color results in a picture which could be used for a cracked version of Windows ;)

Necessary Materials: - 1 blank sheet of paper (any size) - 1 compass (or just a glas which you can use to draw a circle) - 1 pencil - 1 thick pen (favorite color) Steps: First part: Use a pencil and draw thin lines Draw a circle in the middle of your paper with ~ 12 to 18 cm diameter. Draw a vertical line through the middle of the Circle, Draw a horizontal line through the arc to get 4 pieces. Draw 2 more lines till you have 16 pieces with the same size (i.e. 8 lines) Label the intersections of lines and the circle from 1 to 16. Second Part: Use a pen of your favorite color Let x = 0. Draw a line from the middle point to point 1 + x. Draw a line from point 1 + x to point 2+ x. Draw a line from point 2 + x to the middle. If x is smaller than 13, add 2 to x and repeat the last three steps. If x is bigger than 13, draw a line from the mid point to a any corner of your sheet. Unfortunately Manuel was a very strict HGP so when he got in next-to-last line he repeated the last three steps and stopped. Maybe I should be more precise next time ;)

Algorithm for Computers 2

Result	Algorithm
	The same random points are used to generate rectangles and lines, and are rotated afterwards. One rectangle differs in color.

Result	Algorithm
	Another outcome of the algorithm above..

Algorithm for Humans 2

Result	Algorithm
	Algorithm in picture. Manuel also used the "painting direction" as another variable.

Algorithm for Computers 3

Result	Algorithm
	Lines on circle points are animated with a noise in x & y direction using mouse as input. At a certain point, the lines of the last figure are connected to the mouse. sin_cosin_mouse.pde

Result	Algorithm
	The "first step" of the algorithm above drawn by our HP Plotter High Resolution PDF

Algorithm for Humans 3

Result	Algorithm
	Algorithm in Picture. Not the most appealing algorithm, but I think it`s fun to see, what people are doing throughout the day. Maybe it`s necessary to improve the graphical part to make it more beautiful.

Algorithm for Computers 4

Result	Algorithm
	A modified version of our Balloons, using Spheres and the Toonshader to get ascending eyes which follow the mouse cursor - not the most precious code, ;) Also tryed to get the eyes looking at ones face with openCV, but this didn`t perform well.[ Problem here is, that the Wiki doesn`t allow to upload shader files.

This paintig was excuted by my friend in the holiday break. Therefore it was possible to choose some more uncommon materials and tools. (Given) Materials: - 8 acrylic colors - a spinning top - blank sheet of paper - 4 medical syringes - one solid base for spinning - one stopwatch (with 0.00 seconds precision) (+ one person who stops the time for you) - any webbrowser Der Kreisel des Rechts („Spinning Top Of Justice“) • Take 4 of the 8 given acrylic colors. • Give them a ranking in your personal favor from 1 (least liked) to 4 (most liked) • Mix the colors with water and fill the syringes with them by multiplying the number you gave them multiplied by 0.2 ml (e.g.: most liked color => 0.8ml) • Execution: Read the following steps in advance: ◦ Repeat the following substeps for all 4 colors: ◦ Start spinning the circle and start the stopwatch ◦ While the circle is spinning, spray the color on top of it ◦ When the circle stops spinning, stop the stopwatch and note the time • Multiply all measured times by 100 (to get rid off the decimals) • Open the website https://dejure.org/ and search for the results of the last step • Take the word that describes the topic off the paragraph in the best way • Write the number off the paragraph and the word in the middle off the „circles“ that you produced with your spinning top.

Algorithm for Computer 5

Result	Algorithm
	An picture based algorithm similar to the one we did in class. This time I used a counter to define average values of different gridsizes. image_avg.pde (Unfortunately I get an error message when I try to upload the code)
