# MinaCoding2023_Blue

Today's MinaCoding Prompt is **Blue.** BluishBlues will be coded audiovisually thru **LiveCodeLab and SonicPi**.

* The visuals are layered by animations coded in LiveCodeLab
    
* The sounds are coded in SonicPi using a concept of shadow maths and colour shuffling, where in this case the sounds are made through the values of different blues. As well as their shadow/shuffle counterparts to add variance to the soundscape. So when watching,  you are experiencing both blue as a colour and a sound. Slowed down after by 40%

## Poem

```ocaml
Bursting of Blues
Brightening with their hues
Belonging to more than a few
Blues like the sky
At various times
Blues like the reflection
Seen on water interactions
Bursting of Blues
Blitzing with their hues
```

## Code

### LiveCodeLab

```javascript
rot = time / 5

ringDetail = 11
ambientLight 255
noStroke



if time % 10 > 5
	fill turquoise
	simpleGradient teal,aqua,navy

if time % 10 < 5
	fill blue
	simpleGradient indigo,midnightblue,teal

if time % 12 < 6
	rotate rot,rot,rot
	scale wave(0.003)

if time % 12 > 6
	rotate rot, rot * 3, sin(rot)
	scale cos(wave(0.12))

29 times with i
	rotate (time / 5) + i
	ringDetail times
		rotate wave(0.03), i, (2 * pi) / ringDetail
		move 2*i, 0, 0
			rect abs(tan(1 - time % 5)), 0.3 + (1 / ringDetail)
```
