I once suggested a futuristic feature for xmonad or xmonad plugin: 
screensaver that randomly picks a haskell lecture video to play or a 
haskell tutorial page to display. The idea is that your colleagues do 
not know haskell yet, but they pass by your screen and learn haskell. 
Perhaps it can be extended to wallpaper as well.

I replaced the sphereflake image with one without window decorations:

http://syn.cs.pdx.edu/~jsnow/glome/sphereflake5-720p.png

I don't have any sort of image export functionality, so I just do a screen 
capture.


It took about a minute and a half to parse, sort, and render with about 98k
spheres.



I'm afraid it'd take me considerably longer, since I have to first get
all the software compiled and installed and then I'll have to read up
on how to generate the graphics.  I suspect the latter will take a
long time since the closest I've ever come to rendering something is
watching Elephants Dream.

Glome doesn't have any particularly weird dependencies (assuming you 
have a recent ghc and a working OpenGL setup and GLUT), so it shouldn't 
be a big deal to compile it.  In case you want to give it a try, here's 
the steps I do to generate a sphereflake from a tarball:


tar xvfz glome-hs-0.51.tar.gz
cd glome-hs-0.51
runhaskell Setup.lhs configure --prefix=$HOME --user
runhaskell Setup.lhs build
./dist/build/glome/glome -n balls3.spd

(balls3.spd is included in the glome tarball and is the output of the 
SPD program "spd/balls -r 1 -s 4".  SPD is available from 
http://tog.acm.org/resources/SPD/ )


If it works, you should see an OpenGL window with a sphereflake in it.  
Alternatively, if you omit a scene file, Glome will render whatever it 
finds in TestScene.hs.


There is a hastily written and somewhat out-of-date tutorial here:
http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Glome_tutorial

If you don't get an image (note: the demo scene in TestScene.hs takes a 
while to render; about 20 seconds on my middle-of-the-road computer) or 
glome segfaults, try commenting out the line that enables pointSmooth in 
Glome.hs.  If that still doesn't work, send me an email.  I'd be 
interested to know what systems glome does or does not work on.

Very nice indeed.  You don't have any images in aspect 8x5 that don't

This one is nice.  Any chance of getting it in aspect ration 8x5?  (My

Re: [Haskell-cafe] OT: Haskell desktop wallpaper?

2008-10-08 Thread Jim Snow

Ray tracing about a million spheres in a regular grid with reflections:

lattice =
let n = 50 :: Flt
in bih [sphere (vec x y z) 0.2 | x <- [(-n)..n],
 y <- [(-n)..n],
 z <- [(-n)..n]]

http://syn.cs.pdx.edu/~jsnow/glome/Glome.hs-lattice-1e6-720p.png
I don't remember if I disabled shadows for that particular render.

There are some more screenshots on the Glome web page, but most of them 
were rendered in my Ocaml ray tracer and are low resolution:


http://syn.cs.pdx.edu/~jsnow/glome

I just now rendered a level 5 sphereflake (a standard benchmark scene 
from Eric Haine's standard procedural database):


http://syn.cs.pdx.edu/~jsnow/glome/sphereflake5-720p.png

It took about a minute and a half to parse, sort, and render with about 
98k spheres.

versions here:

Since I always run xmonad fullscreen and with no borders (i.e. there is
absolutely nothing on the screen from the window manager ever,)  I've
considered having a screen shot of the Windows desktop as my background.

It shouldn't be too difficult to generate some wallpapers. Look at the
examples included with the Diagrams package [1]. You could take the
Ford circles and have different coloured circles at every startup. You
could even have a range of palettes depending on season ;-)
