The Nature of Code: Simulating Natural Systems with Processing (Paperback)

Customer Review

The book discusses a variety of natural phenomena from physics of motion, over basic artificial behavior, and evolution to learning and Their simulation in the computer. All this is presented not with the aim of making high quality quantitative simulation but rather with the artistic view of exploring what Consequences Rules have and how changing rules Affects the result. These phenomena are together in a broad "digital ecosystem" simulation as the final project of the book.

Using the easy-to-learn programming language "Processing" the book is very concrete in how the simulation is Discussed Implemented in actual code. While it requires basic knowledge in programming (eg as covered in "Learning Processing"), the book does not require a specific computer science background. This is the major contribution of the book, namely to make simulation of inspiring natural phenomena accessible to a broad community of creative thinking people without Requiring extensive technical background.
