Arc Attack

A pseudorandom, procedural art generator. Arcs and line segments team up to generate a continuous curve.

---

Motivation for doing this

I'm fascinated by procedural art and computational geometry. I wrote this program to explore how circular arcs and line segments can be joined together to generate visually pleasing curves.

Polygon

Wavy polygon

Spiral

Random curve (overlapping)

Random curve (non-overlapping)

Prerequisites

python 3.3+ (run script requires python3's venv module)

gnuplot (to visualize the output)

MacOS Preview (to visualize the output)

How to run the examples

Five examples are provided in the examples/ folder. To run the wavy polygon example, use these commands in the shell:

git clone git@github.com:difley/arc-attack.git
cd arc-attack
bash examples/wavy_polygon/run.sh

The other four examples can be run analogously. For example, the spiral example can be run from the clone root folder with:

bash examples/spiral/run.sh
