Content proposal: Hours of Dark

[brunoimbrizi]

Hi Tim,

This is a great project! The tutorials look great and I happily recommend them to anyone asks me about getting started on creative coding.

I would like to know if you'd be interested in a contribution to the tutorial section showing how to recreate Accept & Proceed's Hours of Dark 2011. It's pure canvas 2D, black on white and ~60 lines of code, so it should be in tune with the other tutorials.

I read the other thread with @maxwellito and the process is clear to me. If you think this would be interesting I can send a PR soon.

Cheers,
Bruno

Here is the first draft (just the code, no copy yet) and what the result looks like.

I'm very glad you liked the proposal. I worked on the copy this morning and made a few minor tweaks to the code. Pull request sent. Please feel free to edit the copy or ask me anything in case things aren't clear.

You absolutely nailed this! Succinct and beautiful!

Ahh, perhaps a little offset bug in the live rendering at the end there, will try to debug at lunch! Either way, so good!

[brunoimbrizi]

Ahh, no! I wonder if the issue is related to retina screens. It was (and still is) working fine on Windows non-retina modern browsers. I'll try to find the cause here as well.

Found it. I should use size instead of canvas.width or canvas.height. Both are the same on non-retina screens, so I didn't notice the issue. Fixed and PR coming.
