are you sure?

>>61950332
Why not just use Processing?

>>61951367
quite honestly that does not really matter
you can follow the videos perfectly fine and write the things yourself in a sane language
he doesn't use language specific things that have no alternatives

>>61951333
Same. Doesn't mean that his tutorials aren't useful and entertaining.

The right is relatively recent considering the statue you take as a reference point on the left.

Made this based off of one of his tutorials.

Can zoom in fairly reasonably (though it's JS so frame rendering takes a long time).

How would I program this curve?

>>61953250

x = sin(i) * i;
y = cos(i) * i;

Actually it does.

Okay, how would I do the triangular, square, and hexagonal lines?

>>61953250
Not a function. Plot x and y vs time instead. At any one time.

>>61953420
It seems more circular than the golden ratio curve.

>Okay, how would I do the triangular, square, and hexagonal lines?
bumping for this.

>>61953420
>>61953810
I don't know what you're using. But from the looks of it, you evaluate the function at intersections between the curve and a line with whatever argument you're looking for.

So each point would be a solution to the equation of the line and the curve.

Then draw straight lines between points.

this is why math is a required subject in computer science

you can't do anything interesting with graphics without at least a solid understanding of trig

Solved the golden curve. Just need to figure out how to do the triangular spiral.

var spiralO;
var spiralT;
var spiralVertexCount = 400;
var iterator = 0;
var iteratorRate = (spiralVertexCount/60) / 2; // 2 seconds @ 60fps
var doFrames = true;

function setup() {
    createCanvas(700, 500);
    spiralO = [];
    spiralT = [];
    // Golden spiral has the form
    // radius = phi ^ (Theta * 2 / pi)
    // phi = Golden raio ~= 1.6
    // Spiral O has polar coordinates that iterate from
    // theta = 0 .. 6pi
    // Spiral T has the same equation but rotated clockwise by pi
    phi = 1.61803398875;
    
    for (var i = 0; i <= 6*PI; i+= (6*PI)/spiralVertexCount) {
        var powerValue = i * 2 / PI;
        var r = Math.pow(phi, powerValue);
        var x = r * cos(i);
        var y = r * sin(i);
        spiralO.push({x:x, y:y});
    }
    
    for (var i = 0; i <= 6*PI; i+= (6*PI)/spiralVertexCount) {
        var powerValue = i * 2 / PI;
        var r = Math.pow(phi, powerValue);
        var x = -r * cos(i);
        var y = -r * sin(i);
        spiralT.push({x:x, y:y});
    }
}

function draw() { if (doFrames) {
    update();

    background(51);
    translate(width / 2, height / 2);
    stroke(203);
    noFill();

    beginShape();
    for (var i = 0; i < spiralO.length && i < iterator; i++) {
        vertex(spiralO[i].x, spiralO[i].y);
    }
    endShape();

    beginShape();
    for (var i = 0; i < spiralT.length && i < iterator; i++) {
        vertex(spiralT[i].x, spiralT[i].y);
    }
    endShape();

}}

function update() {
    if (iterator >= spiralO.length && iterator >= spiralT.length) { doFrames = false; }
    iterator += iteratorRate;
}

>>61954064
even then to get anything remotely interesting done you have to learn shit yourself anyways
you don't learn the trig you need unless you look into it yourself

>>61954648
Solved.

Use spiral vertex increments of PI * 2 / 3

for (var i = 0; i <= 6*PI; i+= PI * 2 / 3) {

Squares can be done with PI / 2 increments (etc...)

At first I thought he's obnoxious and doing tuts on ecstasy, but then I started liking his way of presenting. Dan is actually a pretty cool guy.

I had to increase the step-rate towards the end because there appears to be significant computational speed limits in js on my machine.

He did videotutorials for Processing covering his book, "The Nature of Code", some years ago, on vimeo. Quite good altough quite weird at first, but I guess that's just his way of explaining things.
