Silly string is a small experiment built in processing to explore creativity through limited interactivity. The applet reacts to the users input through mouse movement and direction, reacting differently and almost unpredictably, challenging the user to learn and adapt to the tool’s idiosyncrasies.

Obviously Silly String is a curiosity rather than a serious drawing tool, but its an area that I want to explore more at some point.
