Cleaning up the code
Just cleaned it up a little, and added some extra float values so I could use more than one at any one time.
float myTime;
float mySpeed;
float myHeart;
int index; // The global index variable
String[] time;
String[] heart;
String[] speed;
void setup(){
size (1200, 1000);
smooth();
frameRate(15);
time = loadStrings("time.csv");
heart = loadStrings("heart_rate.csv");
speed = loadStrings("speed.csv");
}
void draw(){
fill (255, 7);
rect (0, 0, width, height);
mySpeed = 10 * (new Float(speed[index]));
myTime = 10 * (new Float(time[index]));
myHeart = 10 * (new Float(time[index]));
noFill();
fill (myHeart, 100, myHeart);
rect(index * 10, mySpeed * 6, myHeart * 6, myHeart * 1);
ellipse(index * 10, myTime * 20, myTime * 5, myTime * 5);
index = index +1; // Check when reaching 120, stop or restart at 0
if (index > 119) {
index = 0;
}
noFill();
}

Got the loop in
Sorted the loop, it was relatively simple, just a case of adding this to the end.
index = index +1; // Check when reaching 120, stop or restart at 0
if (index > 119) {
index = 0;

Useful frogs.
Thanks to a very helpful Frenchman on the Processing forums, my code now makes sense/runs as I wanted it to.
Zing!
float myValue;
int index; // The global index variable
String[] time;
String[] heart;
String[] speed;
void setup(){
size (1200, 1000);
frameRate(10);
time = loadStrings("time.csv");
heart = loadStrings("heart_rate.csv");
speed = loadStrings("speed.csv");
}
void draw(){
float a = new Float(speed[index]);
line(index * 10, a * 100, a * 50, a * 50);
myValue = 10 * (new Float(time[index]));
ellipse(index * 10, myValue * 20, myValue * 5, myValue * 5);
index++; // Check when reaching 120, stop or restart at 0
}

Processing.
I hate it.
Well, not so much now that I’ve got things sort of working.
float myValue;
void setup(){
size (1200, 800);
background (0);
frameRate(15);
}
void draw(){
String[] time = loadStrings("time.csv");
String[] heart = loadStrings("heart_rate.csv");
String[] speed = loadStrings("speed.csv");
for (int i = 0; i < 120; i++){
myValue = 10 *( Float.valueOf(speed[i]).floatValue());
stroke(random(255), random(255), random(255), myValue * 3);
line(i * 10, i * 10, i * 10, i * 12);
}
for (int a = 0; a < 120; a++){
myValue = 10 *( Float.valueOf(time[a]).floatValue());
stroke(random(255), random(255), random(255), myValue * 3);
fill(random(255), random(255), random(255), myValue * 3);
ellipse(a * 10, myValue * 20, myValue * 5, myValue * 5);
}
}
Stalker and the zone of alienation
An awesome article by Jim Rossignol about Chernobyl and how the charged narrative found in both the film and the game are a result of the history behind the zone.
During the period in which 3D videogames began to use textures imported from photography, rather than hand-drawn pixel tiles, it became common to hear game developers discuss their photo references.
Drew Markham, director of Return To Castle Wolfenstein, spent the 2001 pre-release press tour for his game talking about the time he had spent in Europe, sourcing textures from “real” locations that had played host to the war. Crumbling French flagstones, Teutonic concretes, and other useful built surfaces: these details would add a certain level of authenticity that other games lacked. When the Wolfenstein sequel finally arrived, British gaming journalists were amused to see the ubiquitous British “H” fire hydrant signs scattered deep within the occult bunkers of Himmler’s SS Paranormal Division.

Sigh
Because heart rate data is fucking impossible to find.
I’ve found something, but it’s not downloadable. Joy of joys’ I’m writing it down manually.

The GPS data also afford some interesting possibilities.

Awesome
Saigon… shit; I’m still only in Saigon… Every time I think I’m gonna wake up back in the jungle.
When I was home after my first tour, it was worse. I’d wake up and there’d be nothing. I hardly said a word to my wife, until I said “yes” to a divorce. When I was home after my first tour, it was worse.
I’d wake up and there’d be nothing. I hardly said a word to my wife, until I said “yes” to a divorce. When I was here, I wanted to be there; when I was there, all I could think of was getting back into the jungle. I’m here a week now… waiting for a mission… getting softer. Every minute I stay in this room, I get weaker, and every minute Charlie squats in the bush, he gets stronger. Each time I looked around the walls moved in a little tighter.
Work for Nick – Webcams
1. You are setting up a webcam.
Where will you place it, over what time period would it record and where would it be viewable? Outline your motivations for each of your decisions. Also specify what technology will be necessary and indicate a budget.
I would place a webcam at the entrance to an A&E ward, recording friday and saturday nights, with the information being shown live streaming on a publicly available and publicly advertised website. The objective of this camera would be to record drunken incidents and show others what can happen when you drink too much (or take too much of something), for best effect, people would need to know about the webcam, so it would be advertised publicly and all the information published across various popular websites to try to increase awareness.
For this project I would need a good quality security camera, which would need to be wired up, or sending wireless signals to an internet enabled computer, which would then stream the data to a website. I would also need to pay for a website domain name and a high bandwidth hosting service.
A wireless camera would cost around £200 for a good quality camera and transceiver.
The Computer would not need to be too powerful, a simple internet enabled laptop would do, so around £200 for a new laptop.
A domain would cost about £8 per year, and the hosting could cost anywhere from £7-40 per month depending on the service needed.
