Creative Coding in Kotlin with OPENRNDR | Edwin Jakobs
Recording brought to you by American Express. https://americanexpress.io/kotlin-jobs
OPENRNDR is an opensource library that transforms Kotlin into an accelerator for creative coding. OPENRNDR was initially developed to support production work for a creative practice but is now used by a small community of designers and artists. The library has also found its way into education and is used as a tool to teach programming to creatives.
Creative coding is programming software while using computation as a medium for expression. This software is often of a real-time, interactive and audiovisual nature. OPENRNDR offers many tools that help to manage the complexities of such software.
By using Kotlin's scripting engine OPENRNDR can be used as a live coding environment in which the write-compile-see cycle is eliminated. Live coding is a valuable tool for teaching, sketching and prototyping software.
