nannou-sand-simulation

Learning nannou, an open-source creative-coding toolkit for Rust, by implementing a visualization for a simulation of sand falling down in a cave (inspired by Advent of Code year 2022 day 14).

Run the code

You will need a recent version of Rust installed.

• Clone this repo
• Run with cargo run --release
• 🚀 Enjoy!

Generate an animation file

If you want to generate a video file (or a GIF) from the animation, go inside main.rs and uncomment the code related to generating images (inside fn view). Then run one of the following commands. You'll need ffmpeg installed in your system.

Generate an mp4 video

cd frames
ffmpeg -f image2 -framerate 60 -pattern_type sequence -i %06d.png -s:v 600x600 -c:v libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p out.mp4

Generate a GIF

cd frames
ffmpeg -f image2 -framerate 60 -pattern_type sequence -i %06d.png -s:v 300x300 -loop 1 out.gif
