			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Earlier this year <a href="http://www.gskinner.com">Grant Skinner</a> organized a coding competition called<a href="http://www.gskinner.com/blog/archives/2009/02/tweetcoding_con.html"> Tweetcoding</a>. The task was particularly simple: to code something cool in ActionScript3 using at most 140 characters (whence the name, tweetcoding). As everyone else writing a blog did, let me re-post my submissions, too (another reason is that it seems that the original site with all submissions is down now). There is nothing really to talk about code-wise to dissect &#8211; it&#8217;s so short, just read it and enjoy the &#8220;coolness.&#8221;</p>
<h2><strong>Anemone</strong></h2>
<p>My first entry was called <a title="Tweet Coding - Anemone" href="http://www.glowinteractive.com/staging/jan/blog/tweetcoding/anemone.swf" target="_blank">Anemone</a>.</p>
<p>The Code:</p>
<pre class="brush: as3; title: ;">if(i++&lt;9)o[i-1]={x:275,y:200,a:l=i,w:30};with(o[i%l]){if(w&gt;5)o[l++]={x:x,y:y,a:a,w:w};ls(w--,i);mt(x,y);lt(x+=9*s(2-a),y+=9*s(a+=r()*.6+6))}</pre>
<p><a href="http://www.glowinteractive.com/staging/jan/blog/tweetcoding/anemone.swf" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-480" title="codify_post_tweetcoding_anemone" src="http://blog.glowinteractive.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/codify_post_tweetcoding_anemone.jpg" alt="Tweet Coding Anemone" width="670" height="320" /></a></p>

<h2><strong>Wormhole</strong></h2>
<p>I was really happy about <a title="Tweet Coding - Wormhole" href="http://www.glowinteractive.com/staging/jan/blog/tweetcoding/wormhole.swf" target="_blank">Wormhole</a>, because it seemed to become an inspiration for <a href="http://pixelero.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">piXelero&#8217;s</a> <a href="http://www.petrileskinen.fi/Actionscript/Tweetcodes/TunnelOfStripes.html" target="_blank">winning entry Tunnel of Stripes</a>.</p>
<p>The Code:</p>
<pre class="brush: as3; title: ;">g.clear();for(c=-90;c++;){d=91+(c-i*10)%90;ls(.1*d+9/d,0,1/d);g.drawCircle(275+.3*(s(i)+s(2*i))*(d+99),200+30*s(i),999/d)}i+=.01</pre>
<p><a href="http://www.glowinteractive.com/staging/jan/blog/tweetcoding/wormhole.swf" target="_blank"><img title="codify_post_tweetcoding_wormhole" src="http://blog.glowinteractive.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/codify_post_tweetcoding_wormhole.jpg" alt="Tweet Coding - Wormhole" width="670" height="320" /></a><strong><strong><strong><strong>Twister</strong></strong></strong></strong></p>
<p>The next submission received a notable mention, <a title="Tweet Coding - Twister" href="http://www.glowinteractive.com/staging/jan/blog/tweetcoding/twister.swf" target="_blank">Twister</a>.</p>
<p>The Code:</p>
<pre class="brush: as3; title: ;">g.clear();for(c=999;c--;mt(c,k=275))if(!i)o[c]=r();else ls(1,lt(c,k),l=o[c],g.drawCircle(k+l*c*s(i+c)/9+99*s(i*.1)*s(2-2*l),k-l*k,.5));i+=.1</pre>
<p><a href="http://www.glowinteractive.com/staging/jan/blog/tweetcoding/twister.swf" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-488" title="codify_post_tweetcoding_twister" src="http://blog.glowinteractive.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/codify_post_tweetcoding_twister.jpg" alt="Tweet Coding - Twister" width="670" height="320" /></a></p>
<h2><strong><strong>Grass</strong></strong></h2>
<p>Fourth is <a title="Tweet Coding - Grass" href="http://www.glowinteractive.com/staging/jan/blog/tweetcoding/grass.swf" target="_blank">Grass</a>.</p>
<p>The Code:</p>
<pre class="brush: as3; title: ;">g.clear();for(m=c=275;c--;ls(1,c&lt;&lt;8))for(u=c&amp;4,v=9,mt(p=m+m*s(c*6),q=m+99*s(c*5)),k=.1+s(c+i)/20,d=15;d--;u+=v*k,v-=u*k)lt(p+=u,q-=v);i+=.1</pre>
<p><a href="http://www.glowinteractive.com/staging/jan/blog/tweetcoding/grass.swf" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-490" title="codify_post_tweetcoding_grass" src="http://blog.glowinteractive.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/codify_post_tweetcoding_grass.jpg" alt="Tweet Coding - Grass" width="670" height="320" /></a></p>
<h2><strong>Fur</strong></h2>
<p>Last but not least. At the time of the competition, our whole office became obsessed with the &#8220;fur effect&#8221; that you can see in the blog header. It was a bit challenging to recreate the effect in 140 characters, but it worked out well and I also had a couple of characters left to give the result a form, <a title="Tweet Coding - Fur" href="http://www.glowinteractive.com/staging/jan/blog/tweetcoding/femaleform.swf" target="_blank">Female Form</a> (let it run for a while).</p>
<p>The Code:</p>
<pre class="brush: as3; title: ;">l=r();o.a=r()*7;mt(o.x=275+l*(r()-.5)*200,o.y=300-l*200);for(c=9;c--;){ls(1,0,c/9);l=r()*9;lt(o.x+=l*s(o.a+=r()-.5),o.y+=l*s(1.6-o.a))}</pre>
<p><a href="http://www.glowinteractive.com/staging/jan/blog/tweetcoding/femaleform.swf" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-491" title="codify_post_tweetcoding_fur" src="http://blog.glowinteractive.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/codify_post_tweetcoding_fur.jpg" alt="Tweet Coding - Fur" width="670" height="320" /></a></p>
