Camouflage Cubes openFrameworks project

About

Recreation of an animation in openFrameworks with C++, originally created in Processing Java.

The animation is generative, that is, changing the random seed will result in a different outcome. In the original version I experimented with many kinds of cube movements, but in the end I stuck with rolling and 'unsquishing' and have only included these in this implementation. To change the 'plot' of the animation, play around with the submit_... functions in ofApp::setup (in ofApp.cpp), or modify / create such functions in Patterns.h.

This project was created with some creative and technical input from @Bleuje.
