Thanks for submitting these. Looking great! In the interest of time I've gone ahead and commented a few things in your source code. Please make sure you go through my Thimble remixes to see the changes/fixes and apply them to your sketches.
Sketch 1: remixed: https://thimbleprojects.org/kevinsiwoff/63921/ I corrected a few noticeable errors with comments inline. The real issue had to do with your image access when displaying each particle. There's a lot of complex object oriented code going on here, so kudos to you for taking something like this on!
Sketch 2: remixed: https://thimbleprojects.org/kevinsiwoff/63913/ You can get rid of the blurry text problem by rendering your text as a DOM element. Here's how you'd do that. Also, and this goes for anyone using images, please make sure your backgrounds extend to the full width and height of the page. It'll look much better in the final book output!
Sketch 3:
Thimble: https://thimbleprojects.org/cm3884/64185
My last project is a "snapshot" of outer space. It reflects the diversity of gravity levels between matter and how chaotic space can be. If I were a space, as we know it, I'd be full of energy and chaos. I hope to add more to this sketch in the future, possibly a GUI that allows users to zoom into different aspects of the sketch.
confirmed receipt of all 3. Thanks for your sketches!
Hey Kevin, thanks for your edits and for looking at my work! However, I've been trying to apply your changes and save them for Sketch 1, and Thimble will not publish my newest version.
Please see screenshot above. I copied and pasted your p5 edits into my file on thimble, should I also copy over some other files? It's working in the preview mode but it's just not publishing. Thanks! Claire
Really like all the sketches! Great take on Galaxy! :)
Strong sense of energy, I can really feel the bang!
Spirals, awesome!!
Order out of Chaos, classic space stuff :)
Awesome works!!! I really love the big bang theory one, so cool and fancy!
Really cool! I think the snapshot one is my favorite! I love how there are so many different things going on.
I really like the theme and your consistency with it. The third one is a lot of fun. Makes me think of Pee Wee's Playhouse if it were in space, which is a good thing.
I'm very much with the space theme. I like your interpretation. Very beautiful work! and so creative!!!
I love your projects very creative!
The particle galaxy creator was amazing!
Very beautiful sketches. I really liked the effect of the starts being born and dying.
beautiful!!
I really enjoyed all of your sketches, I feel like they could be good projected on the ceiling of a room during a party. I could see the second sketch on an iPad or a screen like at the Hall of Science where people could actually touch the screen and create solar systems with their fingers.
@cmenegusWHAT Any luck remixing one of my remixes of your sketches? I think there might be a Thimble bug related to the publishing problem you're facing. Hope we can resolve this so we include the big bang theory sketch in the book.
Hey Kevin! Sorry for the delay, I'm going to work on this tonight after work. I work full-time so sadly I can't get on it today, but will fix it tonight! Thanks again for all of your help! I'll email you when it's done

@indefinit Hey Kevin! Not sure what to do...I downloaded the zip file of your remixed code of this project, then created a brand new Thimble Sketch and uploaded your zip file. It's still doing the same thing...the code works but it won't save. It keeps saying "saving failed, retrying..." when I publish. Ack! I don't get what's happening? Here's the new link: https://thimble.mozilla.org/en-US/user/cm3884/213822
Sorry this is such a huge tech issue :(
Hey @cmenegusWHAT , hmm a conundrum indeed. Are you able to create ANY new sketch and publish on Thimble? I'm wondering if there's a weird bug related to the code specifically. This might be a dumb question but what happens when you just remix a sketch like this one:
https://thimbleprojects.org/kevinsiwoff/45525/
And then republish it (no code modification)
Hey @indefinit, okay, it worked! Not sure why. I just tried republishing your code again. This time when I remixed it I could save it. Anyways, here's the link: https://thimbleprojects.org/cm3884/66005/
Please let me know if it's being a nightmare and didn't save, but it looks good on my end. Thanks again for a great semester and apologies for the tech issues! Claire
Looks fantastic! So glad you solved the issue, despite Thimble's annoyingness
Sketch 1 - If I were The Big Bang Theory:
Thimble: https://thimbleprojects.org/cm3884/63731
The theme of my three sketches are outer space. If I were a galaxy, a snapshot of space as we know it, and if I were the big bang theory. This first sketch illustrates the big bang theory in an interactive way. If I were a big bang, I would continue and never stop generating new life, energy and matter.
This sketch keeps freezing in Thimble after a few seconds. I inspected it and I think that it's throwing an error regarding my index file and drawing images to the canvas? So I shrank all of my images and saved them as jpegs instead of gifs. I tested one out and it solved the problem, but then uploaded 3 more and it's freezing again. The sketch works totally fine in my p5 editor. Is there something I should be doing? Thanks for any feedback!
Sketch 2 - If I were a Galaxy
Thimble: https://thimbleprojects.org/cm3884/63747
We exist in the milk way galaxy, but there are millions (billions?) more out there. We aren't even sure how they form. This sketch illustrates how galaxies form, the generation and death of stars, and just how massive and active space can be.
For my next iteration of this project I want to figure out if I can get the galaxies to move or rotate. I experimented with creating a galaxy class that draws itself, so that this can happen, but I'm not there yet!
