bad-apple-pyplot

This was made for a bonus exercise for one of my comp classes in uni and also made in about 5 hours total on a tuesday.

Video of it running

It used to be plottet inside a gift box but this is just the stripped down version, including only the code I have written myself. The code is mostly the same as the 5 hour version still. I just translated a couple of comments to english and changed filenames.

Enjoy!

Needed python packages:

• matplotlib
• numpy
• vlc
• PIL (not needed to run, but needed to create own renders)

How to run

1. Have a copy of Bad Apple's mp3 in the same directory and name it music.mp3. It should run without it but you wouldn't have sound.
2. Have plot_it.py together with already_computed_data.pkl in a folder and run plot_it.py.

How to create own plot animations

I can only give a general guide on it. You have to figure out some stuff on your own.

First you have to have an animation split into individual frames. Then you have to convert every pixel into a true or false value. This is pretty easy to define with black and white animations like bad apple or GIFs that are transparent, giving a silhoutte. But you could also go nuts with edge detection or something similar.

Then you adjust the path and framecount, include your true/false function for the variable yes_no and execute pre_compute_data.py. It might take some time 'rendering'. You might want to test whether everything is working with only a couple frames at first.

Then you can also adjust framerate and plotstyle in plot_it.py.

Good Luck! o7
