asteroids-compose-for-desktop VS openrndr

We will take a look at parts and structures in the code that I find the most interesting. To see how it all fits together, I suggest exploring the whole code on GitHub. The whole implementation is only 300 lines of code, which I hope makes studying and understanding it easy.

This concludes our tour of building a small game with Compose for Desktop! To see how all the pieces fit together, read the source code (~300 lines of code) on GitHub!

I've been having fun making generative art for a few years and recently got the itch to write my own JS library for sketching SVGs.

This library is heavily inspired by OPENRNDR [1], which to date has been my framework of choice.

My motivation to write a JS library for SVGs came from a desire to bring the programming style I love from OPENRNDR into a language I use every day. I was also motivated to generate simple SVGs that I understood deeply because I'd like to start using a plotter soon to bring these sketches into the physical world.

The library is pretty bare-bones, but I did my best to document it thoroughly enough that a beginner could install it and draw their first sketch in as little time as possible. All the documentation, including an FAQ, is hosted in the project Wiki [2]. And yes, I do recommend p5.js for most users/beginners, but I still believe this library fills a niche.

Happy to answer any questions, or field any criticisms/notes.

I am primarily using the openrndr framework to do all of this.

Last year I wrote Kosmik, a Twitter bot for pixelized retro-style space images in Scala, but I was dissatisfied for several reasons, performance being one, so I migrated the code to Kotlin using openrndr as graphics API recently, and moved the bot to Mastodon. What do you think?

Is there a framework, library or package along the lines of Processing or OPENRNDR for Common-Lisp or Clojure etc.?

I’d also be interested in peoples replies. I know there is a creative coding framework built on it (haven’t used it though) https://openrndr.org/ .

Kotlin is very similar to Swift. OpenRNDR is a coding framework written it it. Kotlin has many of the features you speak of. Kotlin supports many of the features you ask about (or at least something similar to it).

Also have you checked out https://openrndr.org/

After trying to use Processing with Kotlin I discovered OPENRNDR. This is a new-ish creative coding framework created in Kotlin and it runs on the JVM. I'd say the performance is somewhere around what's typical of Processing (so pretty good), it also supports shader programming if you want to squeeze more out of it.
