This is the preliminary version of my final project, I completed two steps this week.
1.
I inspired by text rain(1999) on Danny’s pcomp class and really want to make a Mulan poem text rain.
Mulan poem is so popular in China that everyone can recite it.
1st .I made this version by mistake and make every poem line as an individual part.
They look too dense and also kind of dull.Then I changed them into the format I originally wanted.
2nd.
This is the format I wanted at first.But I quickly realized that every single Chinese character doesn’t make sense. Mulan poem is so familiar to us that we should think of the whole sentence by mentioning any word in it.
3rd.So I manually separated some words and sentences with delimiters.I think now when people interact with it, it feels more make sense.People can choose what they want to interact with.
I wonder if this is the reason why computers cannot completely replace humans to deal with text.
2.I am very interested in physical engine.I followed the coding train and wrote a code for matter.js.
sketch here：https://editor.p5js.org/MagicMonkeyWow/sketches/KQ8unXswN
I am thinking about whether text can be used in matter. js，because I hope my Mulan poem can be used in it.
It looks matter . js now can only work with shapes.But in my sketch in p5 this week,I made a file “box.js” and used it in sketch.js.I am thinking about is it possible for me to put my text in another “.js”file and use it in physical engine?
