checking if my projects still work after moving them to a folder, i stumbled on this old ‘butterfly project’ that still work and looks pretty nice. I thought i’ll post it again for newcomers. Run the code and swipe the screen to scare the butterflies.

Comments
@Jmv38 That’s a really neat demo. I don’t remember seeing it before. I had to comment several lines before it would run. Those lines contained autoGist and fps.
@dave1707 thank for warning! i removed the unecessary lines from the code above, it should now run properly.
I posted this project a very long time ago, maybe you were not around yet...
@Jmv38 Your butterfly code was posted in Aug 2014 and I even made a comment in the discussion where you posted it. I guess my memory isn’t what it used to be. As for my time here, I joined 3 months before you did.
Jmv38 and dave1707: :-D
@Jmv38 That looks about right, but I have more hair that that.
By the way if you have a cat you should try this. I put my iPad on the floor next to my cat with your program running and ran my finger across the screen and they he started playing with it.
You made the next big Cat Game.
Good job
@Jmv38 - nice little demo, try removing the background() command - nice effect. Also put up a tree background image to add a little extra to the scene. Thanks.
@Jmv38 I really like this demo as well, had it sitting on my iPad on my desk yesterday and would just occasionally play around with it.
@Jmv38 Very nice project. I changed the colour palette and removed
background()to generate this lovely art@Kolosso very nice indeed! good job.
