Processing: Creative Coding and Computational Art

Here’s an example:
When dividing, if the bases are the same and the exponents are different, subtract the
exponents. Here’s the rule in a general form:
Here’s an example:
When multiplying, if the bases are different and the exponents are the same, raise the
product of the two bases to the exponent. Here’s the rule in a general form:
Here’s an example:
When dividing, if the bases are different and the exponents are the same, raise the product
of the two bases to the exponent. Here’s the rule in a general form:
Here’s an example:
When raising a base to two powers, raise the base to the product of the two powers.
Here’s the process in a general form:
Here’s an example:
Raising a base to a power of 0 equals one.
Geometry
Drawing anything on the computer ultimately comes down to working with points, lines,
curves, shapes, and so forth, so dealing with geometry is unavoidable. However, unlike the
vague memories (perhaps nightmares) you may have of perplexing geometry proofs, for
the purpose of basic creative coding, you really just need some simple rules and a list of
handy formulae.
