At My Fingertips
Let's create a mandala that looks like a flower.
The mandala flower is made up of many dots. The larger dots are not just plain circles, but they have a bit of a 3-d effect:
Let's create a function that can compose a ring of dots. If you are not sure how to implement this function, check the Sliced Pitaya activity.
Now let's compose a mandala from multiple concentric rings of dots.
Here is a function to compose a list of graphics. We will use this to compose a list of concentric rings into a mandala.
Now implement the mandala
function below to compose a mandala like this:
This mandala consists of 6 outer rings, 6 middle rings, 2 inner rings, and a central circle. The outer and middle rings consist of 20 dots. The 2 inner rings consist of 20 circles. The color of the outer rings has a saturation of 1.0, the middle rings of 0.75, and the inner rings and circle of 0.5.
You can compute the diameter of the i-th ring with largest_ring_diameter * base ** i
,
where the largest ring is the 0-th ring,
and base
is a number smaller than 1 (e.g., 0.875).
