The Fish, Man...Get It?
How many existentialists does it take to screw in a light bulb?
Begun: Spring 2007
This project was an experiment with a couple of different processes. First, it served as a test bed for experimenting with implementing Java classes in Max, which was new to me. Secondly, it served as a test to see if artificial life could be worked with easily within Max in a 2D environment. The Java stuff worked out fine once I got around a few hiccups. Ultimately, the way this patch was structured did not lend itself well to the kinds of thigs I was hoping to do with artificial life. I have sice abandoned this work in favor of building a more general environment in 3D in which to build the ALife experiments in. The source archive includes the Java XCode project as well.
Ideas for the future:
- already working on a different environment in 3D using OpenGL components of Jitter.
