Peanut Butter Surprise

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg

Filling:
3/4 cup powdered sugar
3/4 cup peanut butter

Preheat oven to 375*  Combine flour, cocoa and soda.  Beat sugars, butter and peanut butter.  Beat in the egg and vanilla.  Stir in the flour mixture and blend well.  Set aside.  Make the filling by blending the powdered sugar and peanut butter.  
Roll the filling into 1" balls (about 30 balls).  Shape a tablespoon of balls around each peanut butter ball.  Place onto ungreased cookie sheet 2" apart and flatten each one with a glass (dip in sugar for something extra!)  Bake for 7-9 minutes.  Cool.

Really all I did was replace the cloud image from Apple's template with the furl image by kipling. I tweaked a couple of parameters, too.

This is a slightly modified version of Quartz Composer Test / Lines / www.zugakousaku.com

 

It demonstrates:

  • Interpolation (changing a value from A to B over time)
  • Image with String (creating an image from text, duh)
  • Billboard (stationary display frame, as opposed to Sprites, which are frames that move around)
  • Audio Input (responding to the Mic)
  • Math patch (in this case, tweaking the audio volume)
  • Range (in this case, limits the results of tweaked volume)
  • Color Transformation (in this case, uses tweaked audio volume to control opacity)
  • Image filtering (in this case, I'm sending the Image with String through the ASCII Art patch)

A few things that were not immediately intuitive to me:
  • Generally, data flows from left to right through Patches. Input on the left, output on the right.
  • Blue rounded patches are "consumer patches". That means they're the end of the line for data processing, and they usually send their output straight to the screen.
  • Blue or Black Straight-Cornered (not rounded) patches are abstractions of deeper complexity. Double click on them to edit their guts.
