Experiments with ruby-processing (processing-2.2.1) and JRubyArt for processing-3.0

Lambda clock (featuring DegLut tables now only in JRubyArt, soon ruby-processing)

There exists this vanilla processing example, which is ideal for our degree sin/cos lookup tables (and a more functional approach in ruby processing using lambda). Basically if you can do the math then I think you should (rather than hide behind dubious vanilla processing map/normalize utility they are not helping you they are hindering your brain).
# The current time can be read with the second(), minute(), 
# and hour() functions. In this example, DegLut.sin() and DegLut.cos() values
# are used to set the position of the hands, perfect for degree precision Lookup Table.
load_library :fastmath

def setup
  size 200, 200
  stroke 255
  smooth 8
end

def draw
  background 0
  fill 80
  no_stroke
  # adj factor to map 0-60 to 0-360 (seconds/minutes) & 0-12 to 0-360 (hours)
  # since angles for DegLut.sin() and DegLut.cos() start at 3 o'clock we
  # subtract 90 degrees to make them start at the top.
  clock_x = ->(val, adj, length){DegLut.cos((val * adj).to_i - 90) * length + width / 2}
  clock_y = ->(val, adj, length){DegLut.sin((val * adj).to_i - 90) * length + height / 2}
  ellipse 100, 100, 160, 160
  stroke 220
  stroke_weight 6
  line( 100, 100, clock_x.call(hour % 12 + (minute / 60.0), 30, 50), clock_y.call(hour % 12 + (minute / 60.0), 30, 50) )
  stroke_weight 3
  line( 100, 100, clock_x.call(minute + (second / 60.0), 6, 60), clock_y.call(minute + (second / 60.0), 6, 60) )
  stroke 255, 0, 0
  stroke_weight 1
  line( 100, 100, clock_x.call(second, 6, 72), clock_y.call(second, 6, 72) )
  # Draw the minute ticks
  stroke_weight 2
  stroke 255
  (0..360).step(6) do |a|
    x = 100 + DegLut.cos(a) * 72
    y = 100 + DegLut.sin(a) * 72
    point x, y
  end

I have developed JRubyArt and propane new versions of ruby-processing for JRuby-9.1.5.0 and processing-3.2.2
