Great use of the fill command.
When you do the fill, you could condense the code by automating the moves with a loop and a list of coordinates, but we'll get more into how to iterate with lists in upcoming modules.
This is looking really good.
Now that you've got a hang of drawing the lines, you could add an input to your Line command. If you click on the "+" sign to the right of the block name when you're editing it, you can add a named input. Then, if you drag the input down into the number of steps in the move block, when you save the definition, you will see a text field in the block. Typing a value into the text field will automatically pass it through to the move block. If you use this method, you could use a single line block instead of having to make multiple versions, and then just vary the input when you need to change the length of the line. We'll go over this again in the next class.
To get the lines in the bottom left, you can use a variation of the RL block. If you keep everything in the same order, but change Change x by 10 to Change x by -10, you'll get lines that mirror the ones in the top right.
Love this! The embroidery library is very much in beta test, so there are some quirks we should discuss if you're interested in going further with it. It's a very cool tool though, and we do have a CNC embroidery machine that can stitch patterns designed with it.
Remember that most people have a working memory of around 7 items. For example, if I give you a 5-9 digit number sequence (like a phone number), you would be able to memorize it with minimal difficulty. However, if I give you a 20 digit number, you'll have a much harder time recalling it accurately.
The simplest way to do this with your code would be to start by turning the repeat loops into procedures.
Also, if you put the green flag control block at the top of your code, it will run automatically when the program opens without needing to click anything.
This looks great! The embroidery library is very much in beta test, so there are some quirks we should discuss if you're interested in going further with it. It's a very cool tool though, and we do have a CNC embroidery machine that can stitch patterns designed with it.
One of the issues people frequently run into with the embroidery is that when stitch lines overlap too much, stitch density gets so great that the thread knots and the needle breaks. In the current design, this will definitely happen where everything overlaps through the center point.
The best way to avoid this is to offset each loop by a few steps and degrees. For example, after each iteration, move three to five steps. This will keep the stitches from going through the exact same point on the fabric and decrease density in the center of the pattern.
Very nicely done. I love the use of rotating squares to create the petals.
There are to simple improvements I might make. First of all, if you place a warp block around the loop that draws the teardrops, they will draw instantaneously. The warp block pauses updates on the stage until the code it contains has executed.
The other thing you could do is simply hide the sprite instead of moving it off stage. Both work, but the hide block is a little more straightforward. You can find both it and a show block under the Looks palette.
This is a solid start. What you have looks good, but it will definitely need to be cleaned up and made more concise once you've finished. One thing that will help with this is making custom procedures. Take a look at the feedback I've given to other people on this thread, and you'll likely find comments applicable to your own work. If you have any specific questions, don't hesitate to ask.
This looks good! Regarding the center of the flower, there are two ways you could make it more solid. The first is to keep the same implementation and simply increase the width of the line. This will eliminate the unfilled dot in the center.
The second method would be to narrow the line and draw the outline of a circle. Then, if you move the sprite into the the circle, you can use the fill block found under the Pen palette to fill in the outline with whatever color you have selected. We'll use this method more in the common week when we talk about color field paintings.
@cur4af @maketolearn Thank you so much!! I decided to increase the size of the pen to fill the circle, and used the cancellation method!
This is SO cool!!!
I like your choice of using lots of color and then going back and using white to make a disappearing effect with the spiral. Nice work!
This is awesome! I especially liked when it fills the center section with the blue pattern at the end
this looks super cool! i like the contrast between the line thickness of the rose and the flower in between. i think the rose shape looks interesting as well.
I love how you used a thinner emrboidery system for the inner parts of the circle! It's a really nice detail to the symbol!
Hi @dylanndo,
I really liked your symbol! I think it is very cool how you incorporated different shapes and colors (the gradient was a great touch).
I think repeating the diamond shape creates a really fun symbol and the different colors make it look like fireworks!
I liked the colors you used in your project, it really popped out and made the scene more vibrant! I also thought it was really creative how you used more irregular shaped lines to come together to ultimately form the circular patterns, especially as seen in the outer loop you made.
This is super cool! I love how the color slowly changes throughout the circles. One critique is to try to make it slightly smaller so the entire project is on the page, great job!
I like the way you implemented different colors, and the program is very satisfying to watch!
I created an Andincrad design based on the number 49, but instead implemented the circles to look like individual flower petals!
When I saw this pattern, all I could think of was how to erase the pen, but I thought it was brilliant that you calculated each step! The lines are a bit off, but I think this project is a great implementation of the Adinkra symbol!
