Dynamic Background

Generates seamless gifs of triangle meshes.

Installation

Python3.10 and pipenv required

Install Python dependencies with

pipenv install

in the root directory of the project.

Third Party Dependencies:

• ImageMagick

Notes on Usage

The only file which needs to be modified in order to customize the gifs is config.json. However, if the file structure is changed there will be some issues in the source code (either src/main.py or src/configs.py depending on what is moved).

Contributing

I have tried to make it fairly simple to add options to this project. If you have any ideas for new ways to implement an abstract base class (found in the files named ABCs.py) you can suggest them with an issue marked as an idea or you can create the functionality by creating a new class which extends one of the following abstract classes in the same folder at ABCs.py:

Future Work

1. The most pressing issue at this point is the amount of time it takes for the triangulation algorithm to run with >100 points. I would like to spend some times looking into new algorithms and potentially add some multiprocessing to significantly reduce the overall runtime of the program.
2. In an attempt to allow for a higher variety of GIFs generated from the project, I have made it fairly tedious to manually write the configurations for a GIF. Because of this, I would like to write up a GUI for this project to simplify this task.
3. Add a more complex shading system to enhance the look of shaded GIFs.
