Featured Challenge: #127 — Brownian Tree Snowflake
In this holiday coding challenge, I create a "Brownian Tree Snowflake" in Processing (Java). This video was recorded as part of a fundraiser for the Processing Foundation.
This project is a collaboration with Grady Hillhouse at the Practical Engineering YouTube channel. This is my attempt to code a simulation of Horizontal Directional Drilling, laparoscopic surgery for the earth!
In this coding challenge, I simulate a "random walk" with vectors in p5.js, varying the distance of each step size. This is known as a "Lévy Flight" (named after french mathematician Paul Lévy.)
