For this week's Creative Code challenge by @sableRalph : Tiny Island, I decided to have an interactive mouse experience coded in Hydra. The audio is coded in SonicPi
To fit in the theme, I decided to take the following countries and territory and their respective coordinates and rainfall data to control the visuals and sound.
Being Tiny doesn't explain the soul
Or the way you can glow
The way the tide can harness your flow
As if you are gliding into space
In space
At your pace
Like it's your place
I decided to only use the 8 coordinate numbers found from those countries and territory
Then in the Hydra code, I gave them all their own section that only contains numbers from them but are able to communicate through the following functions:
osc,pixelate, diff, blend, add, noise, modulateRotate, modulateScale, voronoi, scale, mouse.x, mouse.y, color and shape
Video is also played backwards in the final Edition
| Country/Territory | Latitude | Longitude |
| Guam | 13.4443° N | 144.7937° E |
| Palau | 7.5150° N | 144.7937° E |
| Nauru | 0.5228° S | 166.9315° E |
| Federated States of Micronesia | 7.4256° N | 150.5508° E |

//Gave the first two functions the coordinates of Nauru
osc(0.5228).pixelate(150.5508).diff(o1).blend(o2).add(o3).out(o0)
//Gave this section the numbers from Guam
noise(134.5825,7.515).modulateRotate(o3).diff(o2).modulateScale(o0).out(o1)
//Palau Coordinates
voronoi(134.5825).scale(()=> time % 7.5150).blend(o0).add(o3).blend(o1).out(o2)
//Micronesia
shape(()=> mouse.x / 150.5508).color(()=> mouse.y / 7.4256).modulateRotate(o1).out(o3)
For the audio decided to play with the data found in the monthly rainfall section of the following sites:
require 'csv'
#Parsing the Data for the Tiny Island Creative Code Challenge
#For today, I am parsing the Rainfall of the Following Four Countries : Nauru, Palau, Micronesia, Guam
Nauru = CSV.parse(File.read("C:/Creatuve Code Challenges/New folder/Nauru_RainFall - Sheet1.csv"), headers: true)
Palau = CSV.parse(File.read("C:/Creatuve Code Challenges/New folder/Palau_RainFall.csv"), headers: true)
Micronesia = CSV.parse(File.read("C:/Creatuve Code Challenges/New folder/Micronesia_RainFall.csv"), headers: true)
Guam = CSV.parse(File.read("C:/Creatuve Code Challenges/New folder/Guam-RainFall.csv"), headers: true)
