Ramadan Mubarak! #ramadan2025

Built a tool to visualise the voting record of our university's SU council. It should make council more accessible to more people.

I also used an ethical license for the first time.

I'm not sure how this bodes for any plans we have in our School of Computer Science.

I've also been looking at racial bias, #racism in #Computergraphics. (There was a path I was on, from Grace Hopper's wikipedia entry (because of the recently released NSA lecture) to #lenna to shirley cards in #photography until finally I got here.)

@TheodoreKim has a video I watched about this that was really eye opening for me. I've asked my lecturer in the #uniofsheffield about this as I'll be doing a computer graphics module, so I'll see what he says. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROuE8xYLpX8

I had a really good night at #UniversityOfSheffield #SUgrapefruit But it's back to studying for me!

Two exams for me have passed and I've just got one last exam in my second year to complete.

I decided to put a bit of time updating my second year grade calculator, to help me keep track of how I'm doing.

Some of my cohort used the first year version I built last year.

It features all sorts of witchcraft, conditional formatting, array formulas and update notifications

I'm catching up on an assignment I have an extension for. It's the last day of semester here in #universityofSheffield #compsci
Some of the #datadriven theory is kicking my arse.

I read this article recently by Stephanie T. Jones and natalie araujo melo

We Tell These Stories to Survive: Towards Abolition in Computer Science Education

It really struck me.

Finally built #metaballs after a false start. it's a whole lot of fun.
Made with #p5js #proceduralart #creativeprogramming #programming

implemented ball #collision and added #voronoi on top of it. #generatedArt

After watching a video about marching cubes and squares, I've finally made my own marching squares simulation using open simplex noise. #python #pygame #gamedev #marchingsquares #compsci #graphics

It's really pretty when animated.

I've finally coded A Star from scratch in #pygame #python
I've always wanted to make one of these visualisations.

My current project is working on creating a visualisation of #astar #pathfinding algorithm. I'm using #pygame #python to produce the visuals. but before I can do that I have to build out the grid. I've made it especially hard on myself it seems but creating a hexagon grid. Working slowly to fix the bugs.
