BEETLEBLOCK / Place Sphere in Circle and Rainbow Colour

This is my first little program created using BeetleBlock.
https://github.com/ericrosenbaum/BeetleBlocks

I really like this program because similar to Scratch programming, it uses bunch of building blocks and it is interactive inside 3D environment.

Still in beta version, but I would like to see how this can be used to learn and teach programming.

PYTHON / OpenCV, Recreate Uncanny Manga - Anime Style

Can you tell what it is? Computer Vision. Yesterday, I spend almost whole day exploring this opencv module using Python. What I discovered was revealing. Even at the very basic level, I could produce some interesting Image and Video manipulation using all the code collected from documentation and many, many blog tutorials. If you are a total noob like me, I am still getting used to knowing that the CV in OpenCV means Computer Vision! Actuallly, I recalled that I did try to get into OpenCV few years back ago, when I knew no Python and when Python opencv module was probably still early. It was all C++ code and it was a little bit too hard for me. I read a couple of books about opencv at the library, I did not understand a single thing. That was back then. Today, for strange reason, with a bit of knowledge of Python, I can go a little further. EDGE DETECT IN OPENCV Me holding you know what. What leads me this far is my curiosity on how we can replicate Wolfram Langu...

music21 / MIDI and Python

If you like to generate music with Python, the last time I checked, we have module for ChucK and also for Pi Sonic. They both require server to talk to Python, there might be slight latency and delay, but they are quite fun and easy to setup. And... there is also this fully Python module that deals with music: (a bit hard to use I found) http://ajaxsoundstudio.com/software/pyo/ I like the idea of being able to generate music on the fly via Python. Would be nice if realtime, and if I could connect it to ... Blender 3D for example. Anyhow, I remember apart from SYNTH there is also MIDI, and maybe Music Generation does not have to be realtime, if we can code certain BEAT and TRIGGER to match the animation or sampling of other stuff that we can visualize. PYTHON AND MIDI By some kind of magic I actually stumbled into this 'music21' module for Python. http://web.mit.edu/music21/doc/about/what.html I look through this 'music21' quickly and found lots of interesti...

JUPYTER / More Interesting Modules

Turtle slowly walks in spiral in search for Zen of programming. Over the weekend, I am again searching and exploring Jupyter Notebook in a heuristic fashion. I indeed found some interesting modules along the way that worth nothing, and as well discovering a few more *hickups*. Basically, I have a need to find enough "visual" modules, probably under 10 modules, that give me starting tools so that I could create some interesting Image Output, in the way that Wolfram Language can. Wolfram Lab Cloud indeed is powerful visually. I don't know how to explain, but being able to query Planets images (or all kind of stuff), and then seeing the list as image picture of some sort, then filtering the list or further scrambling the images... are brilliant. So, I do have come to some realization that a lot of codes are to be required and studied in order to be able to make some of the "cool stuffs" that Wolfram can do much easier. Yet, still, there is a good feel...
