That was until I happened upon the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/mathworld.wolfram.com\/ConicalSpiral.html\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/mathworld.wolfram.com\/ConicalSpiral.html\" target=\"_blank\">Conical Spiral<\/a>. It was supposed to be 3-D, but it ended up as a top down view of a spiral which I liked. Overall, I liked what I did with this Project.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAs for how it works, clicking the mouse will change the colors of the middle “rough” Conical Spiral and the 4 “smooth” Conical Spirals. The colors of both types are similar but not the same, as seen with the use of random() in the code.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAlong with that, moving the mouse right will increase the size of the “smooth” Spirals and reduce the size and complexity of the “rough” Spiral. Moving left does the opposite. Moving down increases the complexity of the “smooth” Spirals while also reducing the size of them and the “rough” Spiral.<\/p><\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"My Project \/\/cbtruong; \/\/Section B; \/\/sets up the variables for stroke color; \/\/col is the stroke color for smooth conical spiral; \/\/col2 is the stroke color for the rough conical spiral; var col = 0; var col2 = 0; \/\/sets up the variable for angl to allow for rotation; var angl = 0; \/\/sets up … <a href=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/15-104\/f2021\/2021\/10\/16\/project-7-composition-with-curves\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading “Project-7: Composition with Curves”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":675,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[108,56,1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/15-104\/f2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67676"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/15-104\/f2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/15-104\/f2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/15-104\/f2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/675"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/15-104\/f2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=67676"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/15-104\/f2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67676\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":67740,"href":"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/15-104\/f2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67676\/revisions\/67740"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/15-104\/f2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=67676"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/15-104\/f2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=67676"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/15-104\/f2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=67676"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
