Generative Music - Singularities (Version 2)

I worked on Singularities more today, and added this neat particle/star system. I know Black Holes generally tend to suck things in rather than blow them out, but initially I wanted to do some kind of 'gravity lensing', but this came out, and I like it. Particles are shifted towards red when they accelerate, and larger circles exert a higher force.


It's inspired shamelessly by Andre Michelle's "Pulsate", with a few modifications.

The video is a bit choppy due to my capture software, the actual animation is smooth.

I found this from the Andre Michelle pulsate site: and it is amazing! Well done!

@ShannonMacca Thanks! I've actually improved this a lot since this video and am on the verge of making it networked so multiple users over the internet can interact with it. I've also improved the particle system a lot to make it smoother and have it create some neat flows and vortices. This is a project I did to learn SDL, which I had to use in my larger BSc project, and Andre Michelle is a great influence for me.

You can see my "Singularities running on two laptops" video to see a better version.

Unbelievable...
