Pendulum drawing

I aim to capture the elegant and rhythmic movements of a physical pendulum and translate them into a visual art form on a digital canvas. The concept of creating dynamic drawings, inspired by Paul Wainwright's Pendulum Project, involves simulating the motion of a pendulum within a digital environment.

let x = 160 * sin(t + PI) + 160 * sin(2 * t);

This line of code is a result of combining simple harmonic motions along the x and y axes. The pattern is the superposition of two sets of periodic functions: sine for the x-axis and cosine for the y-axis. Each of these functions has a different frequency and phase, resulting in complex motion when added together.

I think that the result of a dynamic drawing is not only visually appealing but also tells a story of motion, force, and energy, capturing the essence of the Pendulum Project in a digital format
