workshop: Fluxus - Scheme livecoding, animation, games and plants with Dave Griffiths [UK] July 4, 2009

In this workshop you will find out about the emerging art form of livecoding and learn how to write simple scripts to create animations in 3D space. After an introduction to the scheme programming language and how to use it to build shapes and animate them, you will be let loose on prototype game code for groworld - a game still in production which takes elements from guerilla gardening, permaculture and plant growth.

No previous programming experience required. Interest in games and plants a bonus :)

Please install fluxus prior to the workshop, which you can find here: http://www.pawfal.org/fluxus/packages/

Windows version not recommended at present due to instability, an alternative is to use a bootable CD linux distro such as this one which will be made available on the day: https://devel.goto10.org/puredyne
