Rotating Hexagons

This is a p5.js script I started played with as I get ready to post about stop animation in my 52 weeks of hands-on-math. Here is a link to edit code. You may want to play with the angles, number of sides in the polygon, rotation rate, etc. If the javascript isn’t loading, then here […]

This is a p5.js script I started played with as I get ready to post about stop animation in my 52 weeks of hands-on-math. Here is a link to edit code. You may want to play with the angles, number of sides in the polygon, rotation rate, etc.

SumFib

After playing simple yet addictive games like Threes and 2048, I wondered how the gameplay mechanics would translate using Fibonacci numbers, which introduce a unique twist. I wrote a prototype in p5js. You can swipe on mobile or use arrows/WASD on desktop. I did this in about a day and unit tested
