    hey what did you said about making RD faster??? compution behind scene??

    You should make a platformer like Mario or something for a coding challenge ๐Ÿ™‚

    I love that Reaction Diffusion thing! Very complex, very beautiful. Here's my take on it, mostly your code translated into plain javascript. I've added some color: https://codepen.io/enxaneta/pen/NNQNzB

    Hi Daniel,
    Reaction Diffusion is really cool. I've tweaked the code a little bit and added a single Laplace function:
    function lapA(x,y) {
    return lg(x, y, "a");
    }

    function lapB(x,y) {
    return lg(x,y, "b");
    }

    function lg(x,y, ab) {
    var pesos = [[0.05, 0.2, 0.05], // [x-1,y-1][x-1,y][x-1][y+1]
    [ 0.2, -1, 0.2], // [x,y-1][x,y][x,y+1]
    [0.05, 0.2, 0.05]]; // [x+1,y-1][x+1,y][x+1,y+1]
    var soma = 0;
    for (i = 0; i < 3; i++)
    for (j = 0; j < 3; j++)
    soma += grid[x+i-1][y+j-1][ab] * pesos[i][j];
    return soma;
    }

    I'm not happy with performance and color though, will play with it a little more. Is there a place to comment other than youtube ?

    After a little bit of digging, I found a web-based computer craft ide that might help keep us all in the browser http://gravlann.github.io/ (code @ https://github.com/1lann/Mimic). You could maybe contribute some processing code to their repository that emulates turtle actions? I don't think that exists in the community anywhere

    Anywho, I'd be interested. Requests: pathfinding, or finite state machine stuff

    Thanks for your videos!

    Laplace functions shouldn't be squared and multiplied by a ? As the formula shows ?

    It does not appear that the code corresponding to this video is within the GitHub repository to which you link.

    Thank you, Dan. From China ๐Ÿ™‚

    I would love to see computer craft videos. That's how I originally was introduced into programming.

    minecraft would be a nice way to attract kids to p5 and maths +UP

    Could you do an ascii art generator with p5js please ?

    Please post this on github!

    you're awesome Daniel!

    Do you have experience with genetic algorithms? I think this would be an interesting topic to learn.
