I’m still amazed about the Processing environment, its simplicity and ease of creating something is astonishing.
After searching for metro maps I came across a simple implementation of a particle system in Processing by Tom Carden which was used to “augment” fashion photos: http://processing.org/exhibition/works/metropop/index.html
Tom Carden’s project used the conventional point as particles. After some fiddling around with his source (2 mins), and also exploring the math behind this system (2 hours), I tried out lines as visualizing between two following particles (i.e. particle1 -> particle2, particle3 -> particle4). I was quite surprised and also satisfied with the result. So much so, that I decided to post it here:) Have a looksy and tell me what you think!
