Drunken Walk

 




Hi

Mainly to amuse myself but also to potentially create something interesting, I have been doing a small amount of Excel coding, script writing and Bricscad script running to create some random or drunken walks. This is the path someone might follow if they take a step, then another step in a completely random direction, then repeat. 

This is not new to me or to others, and I found a good article about it here . I'll keep going with making some patterns - I should be able to write a 3d random walk and also change colors and line thicknesses randomly. Time is another dimension that can be put into the walks - at the moment my script has a half second delay between drawing lines which lets the drawing play out like a slow animation. 

The scripts are just an automated version of what you'd type into bricscad to draw something and are text files with a .scr filename extension.

See how I go on this, might report again later.
