Bezier 2 - 58 Chunk
Not yet up on the MCT-MWP blog - but I am doing Chunk 58 - 'Bezier 2'. I need to get my thinking cap on, coming up with some cool demo programs.
HTML Guru WANTED!
I've noticed my lovely listings being chopped off! I've prefixed and postfixed my listings with 'PRE' tags - Can any HTML/Blogger.com Guru please advise? Ta.

2D Bezier Curves Demo
I like this demo! Although not graphically very exciting - it does show the potential for Bezier curves in games - Paths for nasties, cars etc. You can see from my variables names within the code, where my inspiration came from!http://www.javaimage.co.uk/bez.html

Simple Processing Script - Contour Heat Map
Ok - I've got my Processing Environment up and running - I've even compiled my own 1st Java PApplet using JDK, ANT and core.jar. If I can find out how to embedd Applets on this blog - I will put it up at some time. Anyone who wants to know more about my setup - please get in touch!
Anyhow, here is my first attempt at using the PDE which simulates some American Lake heating up during the day (Lake Errie? - I lifted the depth data a few years ago for some fishing game I was developing)
// This is a crude simulation of the temperature of a lake
// at some point in time.
float wmaxtemp = -32000f;
float wmintemp = 32000f; // min and max water temperatures
float scalef = 0.03125 ; // Scale factor for ploting 1 square unit of the lake.

int screenHeight = 540 ; // Screen Height in Pixels

Contour Maps
Random Posts - Cute little function I worked out to plot cool looking contour maps -
Used for Bill Dance's Gone Fishin' Game -
You give four 2D spatial variables - eg. 4 Water temperature values measure over one square metre of a lake.
And then you can use the function to interpolate the temperature at a given point (x,y)
( 0 <= x <= 1) , ( 0 <= y <= 1)
// to-------t1 //
// |aaaaaaaaa| //
//|vvvvvvvvv | //
// t3-------t2 //

Used for Bill Dance's Gone Fishin' Game -
You give four 2D spatial variables - eg. 4 Water temperature values measure over one square metre of a lake.
And then you can use the function to interpolate the temperature at a given point (x,y)
( 0 <= x <= 1) , ( 0 <= y <= 1)
