developments

 

The code was coming togther =) With more transformations from the striaight line to the spike. I was happy that it was looking more like the intending outcome - the heart-beat monitor.

But, i kept developing the code and decided to overlay two lines, each reacting the same way to the mouse. I did this to add emphasise on the movement. I found that this worked really well and increased the element of surprize. The code was now a lot more interesting and appealing.

I also experimented with grids to add another dimension to the code. Some of the heart monitor examples i got inspiration from had a grid format in the background, which i thought worked well in the composition.

I progressed the developments even further, trying the code with two lines seperated in the composition each a different colour. I also wanted to add an element that is unique to the typical heart monitor. I transformed one of the continuous lines to produce dots instead, in the same reaction to the movement of the mouse. The code began to imitate some form of mathematical graph.
