The Hundredth Post

2016-01-16, post № 100

programming, Pygame, Python, #100, #100th, #char, #char count, #character, #character distribution, #characters, #chars, #data, #data plot, #distribution, #graph, #graphics, #hundredth, #plot, #plotted, #plotted data, #representating, #Zipf, #Zipf curve

The J-Blog has reached its hundredth post, this one. It being the hundredth post, I want to review my previous posts. But rather than going into the context of my previous 𝟫𝟫 posts, I decided to write a program to do this for me.

The program goes through a list fetched from my Table of contents page, looks up the html code, distills the post and counts how many characters of each type there are. [1] It then outputs its results in a nice text-based style (can be seen below).

To further visualize the data, I wrote another program to display it graphically. The results look like this. On the left the characters are sorted alphabetically (ASCII) and on the right they are sorted by occurrence (you may click on the images to view them closely).

J-Filters IV

2016-01-09, post № 99

programming, Pygame, Python, #filter, #image, #img, #roto, #rotozoom, #zoom

As in the previous post, I used pygame’s rotozoom() function. This time to turn an image around the screen while shrinking it in size to get an unusual image filter. The original image can be found in Stacking Stones post.

This filter is called Rotozoom.

Using the pygame.transform.rotozoom() function, a velocity argument and changing colors, this program rotates squares across the screen.

Controls

  • Left click spawns in a new square at current mouse position,
  • ‘Space’ takes a screenshot.

In the spirit of the new year, this program tries to mimic white fireworks exploding in the night sky.

Using circles to visualize prime appearance. The picture below is 𝟣𝟢𝟪𝟢 ⨉ 𝟩𝟤𝟢 pixels, thus showing numbers up to 𝟧𝟦𝟢 (on the far left and right).

Spinning Shapes

Drawing lines according to length and angle, which change over time, this program creates pretty shapes. The changing values for both length and angle are saved in the image’s name.
