For Hour of Code, Orchard Park Elementary School asked if anyone wanted to talk to the students about programming. I volunteered, and decided to show them Processing.js. They gathered each grade in the library where I demonstrated what they could do.  The students then returned to their classrooms, and the group that were in the computer classroom got the opportunity to tinker with the sketches to see how it would change.

• Sketches
  • First sketch
  • Circles
  • Random ellipses
  • Violet
  • Trees
  • Pink arcs
  • Dimensions
• Advanced examples
  • Concentric
  • Abstract art
• Processing.js
• Khan Academy – Hour of Code

While searching the archives of the Processing forums, I discovered Thinking Machine 4.  I especially like what it does when it is not thinking about a move, just showing the squares that are influenced by pieces on the board.

Several weeks ago, I started creating a similar visualization, but the complexity quickly became too much for me to deal with in my spare time.  This will inspire me to take a fresh look at the problem.
