Fancy a 15% discount on my #Domestika #Python + #CreativeCoding course?
A_B_A_VILLARES-2026
Valid up to March 13th
(Beware Domestika also uses dark patterns like a very low priced offering that will trigger a “yearly subscription” after a month if you don’t read the small print and cancel… not nice)
Cheers to all #Python #CreativeCoding people here using #Linux…
Would you like to test a script by our friend and co-maintainer of thonny-py5mode GoToLoop that installs #ThonnyIDE and #py5 on your machine to see how it goes and help improve it?
I wonder if it would be bad form to ask students to run something like this:
curl -fsSL https://Gist.GitHubUserContent.com/GoToLoop/246a31d437aaa8c6eadb7f7186544e0f/raw/thonny-installer.bash -o thonny-installer.bash && chmod +x thonny-installer.bash && ./thonny-installer.bash
(because, you know, it trains them to run potentially dangerous stuff in other occasions)
TIL that #Processing4 on Windows now has an installer!

I is not just a zipped folder anymore, I wonder if it will make it harder for people to use it on restricted school labs…

Em vez de fazer o que eu devia estar fazendo… eu melhorei o “grid layout” da minha página de sketches diários. As imagens retangulares quando reduzidas na grade estavam “cropando” e agora só escalam para a largura da coluna. Clicando nas imagens da grade é possível ver uma versão ampliada em “overlay”.
Hey folks! We have recently had a wonderful new release of #py5, read about the new 3D trimesh integration feature and the matplotlib TextPath integration.
That release was quickly followed by a release to fix some small issues that surfaced this last week. Please check out py5 0.10.9a1 and join us at https://github.com/py5coding/py5generator/discussions to share your experiences!
#CreativeCoding #Processing #Python #genuary (sorry for the hashtag spamming, I couldn’t resist!)
A cool new open/free #book on #CreativeCoding by Stig Møller Hansen is out!

There is a #Processing survey going on at:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSduTT2cWlXzr7QG_g4LJ-Op6LwVTI7dtXHCGVH_FdI0BK00qg/viewform
I’m happy it mentions #py5 at some point.
At the end there is this invitation for the Processing Discord server. I find it unfortunate that the Processing Foundation is moving the community towards a closed, opaque platform controlled by a corporation, when they have the open and searchable forum powered by Discourse. I wish I understood the reasoning. I know Discord can be “convenient” but IMHO the downsides are much bigger.

It feels very good that the two issues I reported for #Processing recently have people working on them!

Monica Rizzolli has edited a new smashing magazine that covers some cool historic and contemporary #CreativeCoding in Brazil (disclosure / bias warning: I’m on it). Published in Portuguese with an English translation of the text.
500 unique generative covers, art by Rod Junqueira and title variations by André Burnier.
«The Hudson River is flowing through the heart of Times Square this month.
Press play to hear from Marina Zurkow & James Schmitz [@hx2A@mastodon.art] the artists behind ‘The River is a Circle (Times Square Edition)’ - September’s #MidnightMoment, a visual “combination of live data and a matrix of researched information about the Hudson River ecology,” says Zurkow.»

Gente, esta notícia é quente, vai sair o primeiro número da Variável. Tem uma entrevista comigo, estou até meio emocionado (não tenho nem roupa pra estar junto com algumas das figurinhas que aparecem na revista).
