This is the first version of my Peggy 2.0 simulator. Peggy 2.0 is a piece of hardware that lets you mess around with brightly coloured LEDs and mesmerise small children. You can see a video of it on youtube.
Before I get around to buying one and soldering the damn thing together, I thought it might be handy to try out some demos first, using the magic of Processing.
The aim is to produce a reusable set of Peggy classes that anyone can use to try out ideas.
- In good MVC fashion the data and display are kept separate, so you can plug in your own display
- The display is basic but resizes to any x:y cleanly
- Next steps: (1) make it faster (2) more fancy demos with the LEDs (3) more realistic LED rendering with ‘bloom’, so it actually looks like the video
