      for (var i = 1; i < 1000; i++) {
          stroke(255, 69, 128);

          stroke(255, 215, 69);
          rotate(180);

      //purple sequence and rotation
      for (var i = 1; i <= 1000; i++) {
          stroke(174, 82, 255);

I tried to play around with changing ratios to generate different sequences on different parts of the canvas, and rotated them to create complexity. I tried complex lines because interesting shapes and patterns can be generated through the movement of the mouse. It was challenging to understand the mechanism of loop, but I enjoyed how dynamic it could be.
