"Build a Structure" Assignment
Dynamic System one | fla file
This example was constructed following the steps of the "Flux" reading. I added a second slider in order to fine tune the rotation slider, so it can be more or less "sensitive". I also experimented manipulating _y, that is the height of the structure.

Dynamic System two | fla file
I added one more slider: a "split" function; it will split the system in two. To keep the visuals interesting I had to clone the original mc 200 times instead of 100. I experimented using negative rotation values on one of the two systems, but I only get chaos, so the two work with positive increments. It's interesting to notice that I found the way to "clone" the sliders, so it's now very easy to add more of them. They extract a number from its own name, and by naming the textfield with that same number, they work automatically.
