BeardenPark_Edwards


Context-free has proven itself to be a fairly versatile program for creating variations of simple scripts. For the park, I wanted a grammar that would have large, open spaces in opposition to small, narrow spaces. Using the DOUBLE variable and moving the replicated form far enough away for the two to interact made for some interesting variations. I chose this iteration (CJS) because it was close to my original idea of opposition. The large spaces are radiating out from two centers, yet the offest nature of the doubled forms create a new center that is bridged by some of the shapes.

rule DOUBLE {

A {}

A {x 3y -3 a -.5 z -1}
}

rule A {
SHAPES {s 3 x 2 y 3 sat 0 b -1 a -.5}

A {s 1 x 1y -.5 r 90  hue -4 b -.05}
}

rule A {
SHAPES {s 5 .2}

A {s .75 1 x -.25 y .5 r 180 sat -.25 b -.05 a -.03}
}

rule SHAPES {
SQUARE {hue 111 sat 1 b 1
}
SQUARE {s  -1  hue 111  b -1
}
SQUARE {b .75 hue 111 a -.2
 }
}
