For the polar plot exercise I decided to research cool equations for curves and eventually created this beautiful flower, I also animated it so that it is being drawn in real time:
For the circle, I had a bit of fun figuring out how to draw a circle with turtle geometry and adjust its size:
For the flowers, it took a lot of trig work and reviewing in order to understand what I was trying to do for creating the cones that make the flower’s petals, once I figured it out it was easy to create a method that would create a flower with n petals of equal dimensions, and I also made it so that you can adjust the size of the flower. For the middle of the flower I used the circle() method in processing:
For the last part of the assignment, I decided to explore creative shapes using geometry and patterns, as well as creating a drawing of a physical thing, which I decided it to be a little boat. (I also messed with color patterns for one of my shapes). Another cool pointer, is that I did all four pieces of work in the same canvas, this was achieved by repositioning the turtle each time after the completion of each piece:
Here is the code for my work:
Your polar plot is so lovely and delicate.
The polar plot is so good looking. It is actually a pretty strange curve. The equation for that seems like it would be pretty interesting. The trigonometry to get the snow cone shape was surprisingly difficult for me too.
