CCLab Mini Project 4: Patterns
Introduction
Series 1: I/O
A net.
A big net.
A huge net.
It’s huge enough to contain all of us.
But…what is it exactly?
Endless reincarnation.
Relationship? Life? Society?
Or… Anything?
S1#1 Outer
S1#2 Inner
Series 2: Illumination
「Just as little is seen in pure light as in pure darkness.」
－Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Because of the light, there’s no darkness.
Because of the light, there’s darkness.
S2#1 Sun
S2#2 Shine
Series 3: Spinning
Destination.
Where?
How?
S3#1 Helix Stairs
S3#2 Blossom Eye
S3#3 DEEP Tunnel
Series 4: Cosmos
They’re small.
We’re small.
S4#1 Galaxy
S4#2 Stardust
Analysis
S1#1 & S1#2 & S2#1
These three works have similar codes.
I chose triangles to rotate and form these amazing shapes. Also, the color of the outside is darker than the inside (S1#1 & S1#2).
S2#1 is quite the opposite. The patterns have the same transparency value. They are overlapped and finally form this sun-like effect.
S2#2
It’s totally an accident.
When I found the pattern, I couldn’t tell how did I make it. Just rotate the straight line without push() & pop().
I set the color of the lines as random red. It’s the simulation of the Tyndall effect in a quite abstract way.
S3#1 & S3#2 & S3#3
These three works have similar codes.
It’s the rotation of a rectangle shrinking lap by lap.
The only difference between these works is the angle for each rotation.
A slight difference can have a huge influence on the result. So is life.
S4#1 & S4#2
Random dots generateing.
They have random colors and random positions. Also, The closer to the center, the bigger the dot is.

Reflections
The for() and while() loop can really help us do many things and save a lot of time. It’s also quite enjoyable to draw patterns with slightly different shapes. By the assistance of translate() rotate() & scale(), the patterns can be more various.
