Don't have much to show yet, but I am working on a programmatic way to create visuals and animations. Think lambda calculus but with graphical transformations.

- aeonik 2y agoHave you seen any work that Parker Ziegler has worked on? He has a couple of projects for automatic wrangling of visuals when it comes to charting data. Seems related, but also different approach to this area. https://www.thestrangeloop.com/2023/supporting-data-journalism-through-compilers-for-visual-inputs.html https://www.thestrangeloop.com/2023/supporting-data-journali...
- andoando 2y agoHoly shit its Gilfoyle. This is pretty cool but what Im thinking about is more like a general purpose language which is primarily visual. Imagine for example a for loop has a visual representation which shows a visual transformation from 100000 010000 001000 000100 000010 000001 and this transformation can be applied abstractly to 1 = red circle, 0= black circle, which when run shows a red circle moving from the beginning position to its end position.
- aeonik 2y agoI like your idea a lot. I think it's potentially a major missing piece to our systems. I really hope you are able to map it out. If you ever need a tester, let me know.
- andoando 2y agoThanks! Will do, it ever pans out :<|
- aeonik 2y agoAlso, I never noticed he looks exactly like Gilfoyle until you mentioned it.
