Random Appolonian Gasket in Autolisp
« on: October 07, 2020, 12:03:53 PM »
Anyone tried to code this yet? Seems like it would be a good challenge. Similar to doing a mandelbrot fractal, koch snowflake, Sierpinski triangel, etc.

If anyone is into recursion I'm sure it'd be fun  :laugh:

Found some use for one of my favorite toys, inverted circles...

Code - Auto/Visual Lisp: [Select]
  1. (defun c:gasket ( / p r i a b c cen lst msg)
  2.   (if
  3.     (and

Incredible!!! I still don't fully understand what an inverted circle is after looking it up, but this is really cool. It will take me some time to understand your code. Well done.

In the future you must use three-letters+ for name-of-variabiles
(I see. popf, cwd see my picture). :angel:
Code: [Select]
Eg. I replace  ~ (repeat (- i 3)~ with
                ~for(;levelator>=0;levelator=levelator-1)~
I think (Pi) is obsolute. I re-use kpi from ObjectARx-Sdk-AutoCad2010.
const double kPi = 3.14159265358979323846;
const double kTwoPi = 6.28318530717958647692;
const double kHalfPi = 1.57079632679489661923;
const double kTolerance = 1.0e-10;
const double kEpsilon = 1.0e-10;
:-o
