Over view
Symmetry in (Programmed) Motion was a project that was done in a coding program called StarLogo. StarLogo is a program for coding and making agents move. In StarLogo, we created kaleidoscopes by coding different agents to make them move in a certain pattern. We had to create a symmetrical image using geometrical shapes on an x- and y- axis with moving agents that mirror each other in StarLogo. The purpose of this project is to make virtual kaleidoscopes that are constantly moving. We must use rigid motion in our programming which is reflection, translation and rotation.
Process
First we started by sketching a kaleidoscope design and then I started to make reflections of it on a x and y coordinate plane. After doing that we started using Star logo and then learning the basics of programing and then we simply started to create motion that would make the shape we want in the coordinate corresponding to it.
Reflection
this was a great project and it really experiment with all kinds o shapes and symmetry and reflections
