Harmonograph-Ansh

[ansh3108]

• I have read the steps to getting a blot

• I am submitting art that...

  • is algorithmically generated (will change each time the program is run)
  • is drawable on a blot (fits in the work area & doesn't overlap too much)
  • is original (not copied from somewhere else)
  • doesn't call Math.random() (See the documentation on randomness)

• Optional, if you used a tutorial or based your art on something else, please include the link here:

• Optional, if you remixed this from something else, mention it here:

art/harmonograph-Ansh/index.js looks like art! preview it in the editor

[ansh3108]

You can adjust the values p1, p2, p3, p4, f1, f2..... d1, d2.... To generate art just like a harmonograph does

This looks really cool! However, It doesn't quite look like the one's I've seen, like this one

Do you think you would be able to get it a little closer?

[ansh3108]

I think that's a limitation of blot that it cannot draw this much thin lines, and I don't think the art can be changed further because that's the algorithm for Harmonograph. And for achieving a similar like this, you will most likely to adjust the values

@ansh3108 any update on this? I can't wait to see the next iteration!

[ansh3108]

@maxwofford this is the final version from my side! I don't really believe that it can go a bit further because of the limitations in blot.

[maxwofford]

Is the latest version working? When I load in the editor it renders like this:

Also, this is a good start but I'm worried the drawings in the snapshot will cut through the page. What if you add some logic to prevent drawing over the same line too many times?

[ansh3108]

oh, you have to adjust the values as i mentioned earlier

[ansh3108]

It kinda looks something like you mentioned

[ansh3108]

This's how it looks like when drawn with a blot!

[maxwofford]

What am I doing wrong here? I keep trying to run it and I just get a straight line

[maxwofford]

Oh, just saw your comment. Please update your code so it generates that without adjusting the values! if you have some adjustable variables you can also hook them up with the provided random function

[ansh3108]

Sure!

@maxwofford Done with the changes!

This art piece introduced me to something I've never seen before, which is pretty cool. I think it's great, but I'd love if you could add a small section in your code (maybe at the top?) just explaining what a harmonograph is and more about the whole piece in general (like why you made it etc). I'll swing back around soon!

[ansh3108]

alright! on it

@ansh3108 is attempting to deploy a commit to the Hack Club Team on Vercel.

A member of the Team first needs to authorize it.

[ansh3108]

Done! @qcoral

[qcoral]

Better, but I still think you can explain more. Pure mathematic implementations are not very interesting by itself, but they have tons of value if you're able to use the visual drawing from Blot to help you explain the process. Maybe explaining what the functions/variables generally do?

[ansh3108]

Added!

[qcoral]

Nice job on the new changes! I like the descriptions, and it's definitely much more informative. Congrats, you can order a Blot here
