Processing – Tweet Sized Sketches
Posted By: Jordan Parsons140 characters, the size of a tweet, not much else. Well thanks to a post fromAndy Best. I attempted to write a sketch in 140 characters, and my best came out to 137. Only one now but its pretty late, check out his post and the comments for some pretty cool examples. I really suggest trying to write something like this. After writing my last bit-o-code this made me see how bloated thing can get. Especially when I think about the php I’ve had to write. Anyway give it a try or at least check out the examples over at AndyBest.net.
Here it is: http://jordanparsons.com/processing/twitter_sized_1/, source after the jump.

Source:
int s=500;float x,z,y=s/2;
void setup(){size(s,s);x=y;}
void draw(){
z=random(0,s);
scale(x/y);rect(z,z,9,9);y-=2;
if(x/y>s){x=s/2;y=x;}
}

Hello,
Next week, we are launching a very similar project, more of a competition actually, as a collaboration of Rhizome the New Museum and OpenProcessing. I would like to invite you for the early access for this open source sketch competition. Your feedback would be very important for us to tweak the rules/details of this competition.
Basic rule: write a sketch in 200 characters.
Please follow the link below to sign up for early access:

Take the challenge and show us your sketches!
(you are halfway there already
