I Like Math…
…which doesn’t mean that I understand it. However, it does seem to have the uncanny ability to predict how some things will behave and certainly can make come cool looking stuff. Expanding on the spirographs from the other day, here’s a modified version which will iterate through a range of .1-10.0 for r and R. […]

Oh! The Places You’ll Go…
I was messing around with generative drawing for the Processing class I’m teaching…and started playing with spirographs (my bigger brain, ie. Google and Wikipedia, reveals that they are called hypotrochoids). The algorithms are quite simple: x = (R – r) * cos(theta) + d * cos((((R-r)/r)*theta)); y = (R – r) * sin(theta) – d […]
