Featured Challenge: #127 — Brownian Tree Snowflake
In this holiday coding challenge, I create a "Brownian Tree Snowflake" in Processing (Java). This video was recorded as part of a fundraiser for the Processing Foundation.
Learn to create your own climate spiral using p5.js and temperature data. Originally designed by the climate scientist Ed Hawkins, the climate spiral is a visual representation of the changing temperatures over time, illustrating the urgent need to address climate change.
In this coding challenge, I follow up on the Earthquake Data Visualization challenge and create a 3D version in Processing(Java) using spherical coordinates. I also discuss some 3D vector math including the cross product.
