Season's Greetings_2013

Co-de-iT season's greetings and Happy Holidays for 2013! code written by Alessio Erioli - Co-de-iT

the code is an implementation of a branching system seeking "hormons" in space inspired by the "Hyphae" work of nervous system - https://vimeo.com/25604611
a version was developed by Niccolò Ciuppani, Nicola Fuzzi and Alessia Masini for the 2013 a3 course at the University of Bologna; I helped with a few issues but then decided to re-write the code myself from scratch. However, their work provided a big help in finding bugs and developing the whole thing.

start with CTRL+SHIFT+R (or Sketch > Present)
press:
.. space bar to start/stop animation
.. 'r' to reset branching
.. 'w' to switch hormon distribution between flower and logo
.. 'a' to show/hide branch-hormon connection
.. 'h' to show/hide hormons before branches reach them (try this before running the animation)
.. 's' to save a screenshot (you'll find it in your desktop in the /Co-de-iT_images folder)
.. 'd' to save a pdf fil of the branching (you'll find it in your desktop in the /Co-de-iT_pdf folder)

place your image instad of the Co-de-iT logo in the /data folder: for best results, images should be black and white, hormons will look for dark places
feel free to improve anywhere you see the chance to. Let us know at info@co-de-it.com

There are unwanted "laser beams". We could not get rid of them, if anyone knows how, please let us know at info@co-de-it.com
