# WCCChallenge_FireFly

# FireFlyForest

For this week's Creative Code Challenge by **@sableraph: "FireFly”, FireFlyForest**  is coded in ***Hydra, Locomotion & SonicPi.*** It uses these  languages to convey the aspects of fireflies in a forest of their own

## **The Glow of the Fireflies**

* The Colours of the firefly are coded in ***Hydra*** to represent the different possible glows they could emit with some being rarer than others
    
* The Forest coded in ***Locomotion*** goes between being a standalone entity and one being lit up by the fireflies
    
* The ***SonicPi*** composition takes various firefly sounds and merges them into a soundscape 
    
* The Hydra code that is used in tandem with the ***360*** view, is an imagined perspective of what a firefly may see
    

## Poetry

```haskell

FireFlies Roam
FireFlies Glow
FireFlies Light
But not always so bright
Depending on the temperature
Affects the colour of these creature
This can affect their patterns, their being
Also might enhance or lower their feelings
But a the firefly glows
It can be the spark
An addition to your arc
Where it brightens  the ceiling
```

## Code

### Hydra - Scene Effect

```javascript
const d = new Date();
let time = d.getTime();

s0.initScreen()

firefly1 = () => voronoi([10,12,14,100,50,30,75,500,3.5,3,19,100,250,35].smooth(),[14,4,3,9].fast(),3).color([0.5,0.75,1],[0,0.5,0.75,0.86,1].smooth(),[0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4,0.3,0.2,0.1]).scale([0.5,1,2,4,2,1,0.5].smooth())

firefly2 = () => voronoi([10,12,14,100,50,30,75,500,3.5,3,19,100,250,35].smooth(),[14,4,3,9].fast(),3).scroll(2,2).color([0.11,0.36,0.25],[0,0.5,0.75,0.86,1].smooth(),[0.1,0.4,0.3,0.2,0.1]).scale(3)

if(time % 6 > 3)
{

firefly1()
.diff(firefly2().invert()).repeat(2,2)
 .out()
}
else
{
firefly1()
.blend(firefly2())  
  .modulateScale(osc(1,1,1)).scrollX(0.1, 0.01)
  .modulateHue(s0)
 .out()
}


speed = 0.25
```

### Hydra with 360

```javascript
//Part 1

s0.initScreen()

src(s0).repeat([1,2,3].smooth(),2.5).pixelate([15,50000,30,100,10000,500,1000,10000].smooth(),[15,30,45,100,1000,10000].smooth()).diff(s0).out()

speed = 0.45

//Part 2
s0.initScreen()

src(s0).repeat([1,2,3].smooth(),2.5).pixelate([15,50000,30,100,10000,500,1000,10000].smooth(),[15,30,45,100,1000,10000].smooth()).blend(src(s0).scale(1.05)).blend(src(s0).scale(1.35)).blend(src(s0).scale(0.78)).out()

speed = 0.45
```

### Locomotion - Forest Scene

```haskell
directional {z = 2, intensity = range 5 15 (osc 0.5), color = 0x00FfA5};


dancer { url = "Garden.glb", size = range 0.35 4 (osc 0.075), x = range -6 6 (osc 0.1450)};
dancer { url = "Garden.glb", size = range 2 4 (osc 0.075), y = range -6 6 (osc 0.1450)};
dancer { url = "Garden.glb", size = range 1 6 (osc 0.075), z = 13, lz = range 0 90 (osc 0.07)};
```

### Sonic Pi with Effects

      j = 0
    end
    
    sleep [Math.sin(i).abs + 0.25,Math.sin(j).abs + 0.25].choose #to avoid the issue with zero
    
  end
end


Sine_ing(:SineFul,firefly3,firefly1,firefly2)
