Using Processing to automatically generate the forms of connections of regular polygons instead of manually drawing them as I had two weeks ago.
Here are three screenshots of the animations at different point-number (8, 50, 200, respectively) definitions. Each of these “animations” runs with the same number of starting points and animates by upping the number of points it skips before drawing a line.
You may not notice it, but every one of the twenty-five motifs above is different. I’m experimenting with form and pattern of basic geometry.
The concept is simple. Start with a certain amount of points. Then, starting at one point, count the next 1 point, and connect the points with a line. Repeat until all the points are connected fully. Then, repeat the entire process by counting 2, 3, 4 points and so on until the pattern repeats.
Here is a sample of what I came up with.
