I enjoyed coding this project because by changing a few variables, I get to create different interesting compositions. Compared to the previous projects, I feel like this one is more intuitive than planned. During the process, I faced difficulty understanding what each variable does. However, after looking at some examples and experimenting, I understood my variables better and was able to alter them to achieve the effects I wanted.
