Rube Goldberg in Space

Inspiration

Creating an infinite, unique experience through a digital art piece.

What it does

It's a Rube Goldberg's absurdist mechanics simulation using simple 3d shapes in space.

How I built it

I used Claude to brainstorm the initial idea, limited the scope after some thought. Also used Cursor to debug in order to save tokens.

Challenges I ran into

This was my third attempt to get a product working. Some APIs were not behaving properly, and I am not technical enough to debug well. I also started a new chat in Bolt after being stuck on a problem for some time.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I was able to create a fun simulation, which reminds me of screensavers on first computers.

What I learned

Coding is addictive, when you have a tool like Bolt.

What's Next

I am working on another visualization on the study of anticipation.
