I enjoyed making this project. I decided that I wanted to incorporate my ‘i’ variable into more than just the creation of the lines. I experimented with replacing rgb values with ‘i’ and it created really interesting color shifts. I also decided to make a copy of each of the curves I made and make one of them interactive with mouseX and mouseY.
