Preview	Notes
	No idea what I was doing at this point, I think using sin/cos to draw random curves
	Trying and failing to draw a circle, getting tripped up by the maths
	Finally got the circle to work thanks to Peter/Zach/Lisa J First goal is to recreate this part
	Using an ofPath, I use slide to incrementally shift each vertex over as it’s drawn int ct = 36; for (int i = 0; i < ct; i++) { float r = 300; float prg = (float)i/((float)ct-1.f); // double up on first point float angle = TWO_PIprg; float slide = fmod(ofGetElapsedTimef(), 2.f) 400; float x = 400 + r * -cos(angle) + prgslide; float y = 400 + r sin(angle); l.lineTo(x,y); ofDrawCircle(x, y, 5); } l.close(); l.draw();
	Realizing cos/sin of an angle of 0 starts on the right int ct = 36; for (int i = 0; i < ct; i++) { float r = 300; float prg = (float)i/((float)ct-1.f); // double up on first point float angle = TWO_PIprg + PI/2.; float slide = fmod(ofGetElapsedTimef(), 2.f) 400; float x = 400 + r * -cos(angle) + prgslide; float y = 400 + r sin(angle); l.lineTo(x,y); ofDrawCircle(x, y, 5); } l.close();
