# WCCChallenge: TinyIsland

## **TinyIslandMultiversing**

For this week's Creative Code challenge by @[@sableRalph](@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.

### **Poem**

*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*

### **Visuals/Hydra Code**

* 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)
```

### **Audio / SonicPi Code**

* For the audio decided to play with the data found in the monthly rainfall section of the following sites:
    
    * [https://www.climatestotravel.com/climate/nauru](https://www.climatestotravel.com/climate/nauru)
        
    * [https://www.climatestotravel.com/climate/palau](https://www.climatestotravel.com/climate/palau)
        
    * [https://www.climatestotravel.com/climate/micronesia](https://www.climatestotravel.com/climate/micronesia)
        
    * [https://www.climatestotravel.com/climate/guam](https://www.climatestotravel.com/climate/guam)
