Dripping paint routine in Processing

Scope of works: Software development

Last year a colleague re-introduced me to Processing and asked me to help him develop a simple paint package, using Nintendo Wii
remote controls as paint brushes. This software package later became the Digi Da Vinci software, which made its premier at the Dover Castle PR stunt in 2009 with MEI Events.

My first task in Processing was to develop a dripping paint routine which was used as a feature in the Digi Da Vinci software. The routine was class based and the drip consistency, length and density of the drip was fully customisable.

    I love the look of this painting application. I am looking to make a digital graffiti wall (rear projected screen) using a wiimote and ir pen.. this would be great to use with it. Is this available to try out?
