Flow3r Particles Eye

Flow3r app with particle simulation, forming an evil'ish eye. Kind of inspired by both HAL 9000 and Sauron's Eye.

Based on an earlier implementation called "DeepFace": https://github.com/turiphro/deepFace/ (written in C++/OpenFrameworks).

Usage

• by default will show the particle simulation
• tap the petals to attract particles towards your finger
• left app wheel to change the colour of the particles (random colour)

Todo

• Optimise code; currently, it's pretty sluggish for >200 particles (the original ran >2000 particles on a raspberry pi 3B+). Likely in-place coordinate updates will help. Maybe the round_rectangle drawing is also slow.
• Ideas for more features:
  • react to sound (increase entropy)
  • API or MQTT listener to update colours/entropy based on external events (e.g., smart home events)
  • sound effects (e.g., on touch)
