Tammy: I think it would be great to have those wonderful patterns in the screens and reactive to minds! Jiaqi: Yes, and we can have smooth transition between all shapes!
- Core Concept: pattern = arrangement + fractals
- arrangement handles "x,y,a,d" for every fractal: coordinate of the center points; angle of rotation; diameter.
- fractals handles the exact shape of everything, pay attention to the .shape, which has the format of [[[x1,y1,x2,y2,angle]
/*line 1/,[x1,y1,x2,y2,angle]/*line 2/]/*shape 1/,[]/*shape 2/] - remember x1,y1,x2,y2 are factors to "d"(diameter), so usually x1,y1,x2,y2 ∈ [-0.5, 0.5]. And we're using radian, so generally angle ∈ [-PI, PI].
- If you find it hard to understand, consider plan B ↓↓↓
- Go to presetArrangementTest(or presetFractalTest), copy it, and name it into something you like! This function returns an instance of the arrangement or fractal.
- Modify the function with the guide above;
- in .name, give it a value like ["alpha","beta"], which is the keyword you're going to call;
- Declaire an variable globally to hold the object returned by the function you just created;
- If it is an arrangement, put it into "pasAll". If it is a fractal, put into "pfsAll";
- If you find the code hard to read, consider plan B ↓↓↓
- Post your idea in the comments! It can be textual description, draft, image...WHATEVER YOU LIKE! We appreciate all contributions!
