Assignment #1: Processing Drawing Machine – Eric Silva
I wanted to figure out how to make objects follow a certain paths given by equations. I began with a simple equation where a square follows a direct path (linear equation) and then I moved towards exponential equations. Afterwards I made it so that the squares would converge to distance where you would click…
