I really like making spirographs. As a kid I doodled them all the time and a lot of the projects I’ve done for this class include spirographs but I like that I’m learning how to draw them through different techniques: this week via turtle graphics.
Slight alterations to the spirographs’ angles and spaces are changed when the mouse is clicked.
