Twitter Maze

    Update! Download the app for your Mac or PC and start generate your own maze...

    My submission for written images.

    Program Description: A spiral shaped maze is generated using the top trending topics from Twitter during the last 24 hours. The whole maze is a suite of blocks (one for each topic, 20 topics for each hour), starting from the center (the most recent topics) and spiraling outwards. The height of each block is relative to the frequency of appearance (24 hours wise) of the topic it represents.

    Programming Language: Java

    Used Librairies: Jogl and the Chronotext Toolkit
