A font, created in openFrameworks, that relies solely on motion.

I wanted to use Open Frameworks to see if I could make a font that relies on motion. Inspired by a line made by waving a flashlight back and forth, this Light Array motion font uses traveling circles to create letterforms. To facilitate the “drawing” process, I developed a 5x7 grid system and used a two-digit coordinate-mapping system for each circle’s movement. So “12”, referred to row 1, column 2 and “17” refers to row 1, column 7. This allowed me to have the relatively simple notation for each line of “colMovement(12, 17).”
