The best part of live coding is that even mistakes can be wonderful. The rotate() function takes *radians* for its argument, but I passed in *degrees*, so the FFT measurements wrapped multiple times and made it look even more amazing than intended.

Wrap things into curvy circles with

beginShape();
for(let i = 0 ; i < num ; i++) {
let x = R[i] * sin(i * 2 * PI / num);
let y = R[i] * cos(i * 2 * PI / num);
curveVertex(x,y)
}
endShape();

Ramp the color with the average amplitude of the audio. Combines well with the phosphor-like persistence.

Some things that I find make for better live coding:

Decay the previous frames by drawing over them with a semi-transparent background:

background(0,0,0,20)

Do you like live coding? Do you like editing with vi? Now you can do both with p5live vi mode! https://p5live.trmm.net/ forked from https://github.com/ffd8/P5LIVE

One of my goals for the rest of the year is to only travel via bike, train, boat or dirigible. Apparently I'm not the only one: https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2019/may/22/could-you-give-up-flying-meet-the-no-plane-pioneers

The first public post from ten years ago about my homebrew firmware for the Canon 5D Mark 2 DSLR marks the very humble beginning of the Magic Lantern project: http://www.dvinfo.net/forum/canon-eos-full-frame-hd/235535-homebrew-firmware-5d-mark-2-a.html

Ten years ago this week, I started a project to free my Canon DSLR camera's firmware and there are still improvements being made today thanks to @autoexec_bin@twitter.com and other developers who turned my reverse engineered hack into a useful tool for film makers: https://www.magiclantern.fm/
