Constellations
This is one of my earlier programming projects. I wanted to animate one object orbiting another like a planet and star. I have it memorized now, but back then I had to look up the formula to put a point at a particular angle and distance from another point. After I got it working, I decided to add a moon to my planet. And then I gave the moon a satellite. And then it turned into this. I think the patterns and movements that arise from this simple algorithm are pretty neat looking!
