Inspiration

I have always loved space and galaxies so when I saw a chance to make art from code and follow a tutorial; so using galaxies as a template was a no brainer

What it does

This app allows you to move a slider that will offset the rotation of galaxy arms making different shapes of galaxies.

How we built it

To build this I use p5js and modified this tutorial

Challenges we ran into

The tutorial only uses white for the particles so I had to figure out how to change between three colors randomly and ended up using a color array taking the modulus of the index of the start to get a value between 0-2 then using a random function on the theta of the stars to randomize it.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

This is my first use of p5.js and I am proud I could make something that has always interested me.

What we learned

p5.js and loads about particles

What's next for GalaxyCodeArt

Comet visualization, blackhole visualization, and more!!
