This project is a continuation of one of the results of the 31 sketches I made for Genuary 2025. The original prompt was "One line that may or may not intersect itself.". I had the idea to let a line reflect within a boundary and iterated from there.

Generated outcomes of the system. Selected renders and editions produced by the algorithm.
Notes from the making. Experiments, dead ends, discoveries and small breakthroughs that shaped the work.
When Genuary 2025 was done I turned towards plotting some of the results. This meant adjusting the original code so it could be properly plotted.
The Genuary 2025 result used a single path with straight lines, for this iteration I moved towards multiple colored paths with curved reflections.
Instead of reflecting paths inside one single boundary what happens if I create multiple boundaries which overlap. And as well increase the reflecting count as well which makes the output a bit more chaotic.
Until now the reflecting line algorithm worked on rectangular boundaries. I adjusted the algorithm so it could work with polygons and used a new algorithm I created for splitting up polygons by cutting them up.
