To see a World in a Grain of Sand. And a Heaven in a Wild Flower. Hold Infinity in the palm of your
hand.
And Eternity in an hour.
- William Blake
A mesmerizing spiral
I took some inspiration, from a design in the book "Math Art: Truth, Beauty, and Equations " by Stephen Ornes, click the image to see the code and animation!
A Forest
I was in awe when I first realized that trees were recursive definitions to draw. With help by the YouTube channel (The Coding Train) I was able to draw this tree that reminds me of my favorite plant-Cherry Trees-If another is drawn as a reflection it resembles a brain.

An Excited Tree
Very similar to the previous piece if we change the angle of the branches they result in exciting and weird behavior the previous tree used a 45 degree angle to bloom, while this one uses 45 and 255 degrees Click the image to see the code.
A simple pattern
During my break I looked at the floor and noticed an interesting pattern. In the concrete I saw there was a hexagon pattern that locked with eachother so nicely and neatley that I wanted to give a go to recreate the pattern in code. Click the image to see the code.
Fibonacci Circles
I wanted to show beginning computer science students the beauty of recursion. After searching For captivating images on Google I came across this diagram, I was determined to figure out the algorithim which was clearly recusive. After many hours and frustration I was able to explain how the algorithim worked. The radius of each circle is proportionate to a fibonacci number. This is why its so beatiful to look at
Ripples
This peices repeats a sqaure pattern and then displaces to have that cascading wallpaper effect.
Falling Sand
This piece uses java via the processing framework. You can click and drag to drop "sand" that repeats a certain pastel pattern. You have to follow instructions in the gist (on image click) to run the code for yourself
