Simple Orbits

Nothing super fancy here, just some simple orbits. Taking inspiration from simple, yet elegant generative artwork like Chromie Squiggle, Fidenza, and Ringers, this project aims to produce visually appealing imagery with relatively minimal complexity. Even though parameters are randomized, deliberate steps were taken to ensure overall image composition adheres to established artistic principles. Each iteration represents simple orbits of satellites circling around a central mass, colored with one of ten curated palettes. That's it.

A few notes about the functionality of this project:

- This artwork was developed using the p5.js library.

- The artwork is scalable across many different sizes of canvas. In addition to scaling upon window resize, different scales can be applied through keystroke inputs:

- 1: scales the artwork to a width of 1000 pixels.

- 2: scales the artwork to a width of 2000 pixels.

- 3: scales the artwork to a width of 3000 pixels.

- 4: scales the artwork to a width of 4000 pixels.

- 5: scales the artwork to a width of 5000 pixels.

- Resizing the browser window will cause the artwork to scale accordingly.

- In addition to keystrokes that scale the artwork, pressing the "s" key will save the artwork locally.
