[tw5] Algorithmic Digital Art: a use case for TiddlyWiki-BASIC data exchange via local storage

BTW: although I’m hyperfocused on the use of BASIC in TiddlyWiki, all of this could oh-so-easily be done with javascript instead, i.e. javascript dynamically fed by TiddlyWiki into an iframe, and TiddlyWiki-javascript communication/sharing via local storage.

As part of me evaluating use cases for BASIC Anywhere Machine, “Algorithmic Digital Art” is an obvious fun fit for BASIC programming fun.

Dabbling with the algorithm, insta-thought: hey, I could setup a Tiddler with widgets to dynamically (in real time) alter the image I’m looking at, those widgets storing values in local storage, to trigger the BASIC program into altering what I’m looking at.

Everything is intertwingled.

So this weekend’s new TiddlyWiki will be about exporting that “Sunrise” BASIC application and setting up an interface to interact with the running BASIC programming.

Yeah, I totally geek out on this kind of stuff.
