April Wallpaper

This month, via the magic that is Processing, estevancarlos and I were able to bring you actual April showers. The wallpapers were rendered out using a Processing Sketch that Estevan put together to achieve a really cool water droplet effect.

Estevan has provided the sketch here: sta.sh/027qh8synlyd

To run the sketch, you'll need to download Processing. It's available for Windows, Linux, and OS X.

Once you've got Processing installed, open up Estevan's .PDE file (the sketch). Once open, you'll want to hit the play button in the upper left of the window. This will open another window that plays the effect. The image that the code comes with is one I made for the sketch, but you can throw in any image you'd like. The code is well commented and should be pretty easy for most to have some good fun with!

Also, here's a video of the effect: sta.sh/06pkhb69tbg

If you make anything cool, or make any improvements to the code, let us know in the comments!

We hope you enjoy it!
