#genuary22 — Public Fediverse posts

I enjoyed this one, randomizing the widths of rows and columns of a grid then applying a #TSP strategy and the `py5.curve_vertices()` method. Mind you that cubic curves can be a bit tricky, to make a nice closed curve you have to repeat the last two vertices at the start, and the first two at the end... #genuary #genuary22 #genuary2026

I've often been tempted to get a pen plotter, but haven't quite taken the plunge. For #genuary22 I did some experiments with overlapping Archimedean spirals, that could eventually be used with a pen-plotter. I find the spirals interesting since their radius is non-constant, so lining up the tangent circles becomes challenging. I still need to explore the Browne and van Wamelen paper on spiral packing - here they were just placed by brute force.

My #genuary22 contribution was inspired by the #shadow artistry of Shigeo Fukada. His "Lunch With a Helmet On" must be seen to be believed

Learning more about P3D mode in #Processing. Might be using this more in future #genuary prompts
