This process presented a great combination of practicing code and also distilling my conception of myself down into units basic enough for me to code. Product-wise, I am happy with the elements I chose to focus on: my eyes, my thoughts about my place in the world, my thoughts about other forces in the world (move your mouse around to play with that). But I know a greater facility with how to determine coordinates, especially in service of making triangles and quads, would have given me more precision with final my choices.
