¡°Furry¡± is a tribute to the artist C. E. B. Reas. I tried to imitate his work [dam] berlin 2005 / Process 6 (Fig.1.). When I first learned Java, drawing a mere square on the screen with it was much more complicated and complex than doing it by Flash. But after I learned Processing, I was able to utilize Java more freely. I thank to the two initiators Ben Fry and Casey Reas.
     Not knowing the algorithms of Reas©ª, I tried to create a flock of drawing agents which burst out from the center of screen and fly away randomly outward. Without clearing the screen, the agents leave their trails which are stacked with time. I tweaked the factors for the drawing agents by trial and error to create a furry ball. I could not exactly imitate his work, but the result seemed more or less nice to me.
