The Dragon Curve fractal is created by repeatedly folding a strip of paper in half, then unfolding it to form a curve. In this challenge, I attempt to code an animation of the Dragon Curve forming with p5.js in JavaScript.
In this coding challenge, I continue one of my favorite subjects: Algorithmic botany! This video covers the subject of Phyllotaxis, what it is and how it can be used to generate sunflower-like patterns inspired by nature.
More algorithmic botany! Another way to generate a fractal tree is to consider every part of the tree an object, so that we can apply forces and attributes to all the branches and leaves and more!
