The Processing Monsters meme has been around for a long time now, but
in its early stages there were really only a few people contributing.
I checked it out again today and there are some really inventive
sketches up:

The idea is to make a simple, black and white creature with processing
that exhibits personality through interaction. Check them out.

Inspired by being home with a cold all week.

1. The calculation for distance from the mouse location does not
always seem to be working. It thinks it isn't so close to the mouse.

2. The monster can get off the screen somehow at times.

I'll work on it some more later.

float tmpDist = sqrt(pow(mouseX - xpos, 2) + pow(mouseY - xpos, 2));

you have 2 xpos there.

Thanks for spotting that. Fixed, and he is acting erratic in a more
reliable fashion now.

I made one... It took a few weeks because I kept getting distracted
playing with physics equations. I'll post some of my sketchbook stuff
later if anyone is interested

This would be a cool thing to opendork at dorkbot on the 15th (hint hint)
