This project was bootstrapped with Create React App.
This website is a landing page for me to show off my projects. I have other projects hosted on my github.io page, and this page should act as a hub for the others.
One of the interesting parts of this page is the changing background. I have designed each of them based on mathematics I have seen before.
I was inspired to reproduce the pattern that falling droplets of water make on the surface of water.
I was always fascinated by the patterns that the headlights of cars made when passing cones on the side of the road.
I wanted to model a physical system, without it becoming too complicated. Complicated simulations would perhaps be slower on some devices, and would cause too much clutter in the page. This brought me to the simple idea or projectile motion, elastic objects under a constant force.
Conway's "Life" Game is a cellular automaton which has become a meme. I thought it would be nice to create a wallpaper with it.
Based on the Dragon Curve, the Dragon wallpaper animates the descent and ascent from low to high complexity curves.
After seeing someone make the pattern for reddit, I decided to try and make it myself. The original poster build it with brute force, but I wanted to produce it with computer code.
