Fun with Polar Roses

Overview

I set out this week to explore using springs and forces + step up my object-oriented programming game. I ended up doing neither thing. Instead, I started making roses with polar coordinates and wound up getting sucked in to a game of “what does this do?” In the process, I wound up tinkering my way to a better understanding of the relationship between polar and cartesian coordinates + got a better sense of how some interesting visuals that could be incorporated into audiovisual performance can be created.
