Thought for the Organism Project (idat204)

September 28th, 2006

Here begins the Organism Project, and following Chris Speed’s not-so-subtle hinting, its appropriate for me to start blogging about this project in an appropriate place. The general idea is to create a simulation of a living organism that can be distributed to an end user’s computer, so naturally the development environment of choice is going to be Macromedia Flash deployed in a web browser.

About the project

I will be working with Rob Gregory on this project.

To see the progress we’re making, you can view it being developed here: http://www.srjm.co.uk/portfolio/idat204/organism/

Research

Areas of research now include fibonacci in nature, the golden rule, average temperatures and optimal growing conditions for plants. I hope to be able to use Actionscript to simulate some of these phenomenon.
