An animation that also functions as a clock and calendar.
Cl-animation is an abstract visual expressing time in seasons, daylight, hours, minutes, and seconds as an animation. The animation will use boids, genetic algorthims, group behavior, particle systems and Perlin noise to create a naturlistic aesthetic. The project will also read the lighting information from a .txt file. This .txt file will receive information from a photo diode sensor that tracks the sunlight daily. The animation will retrieve this information and average the results to more accurately resemble the lighting conditions taking in account the changing of seasons and overcast days.
