Draw pictures... using math!

Draw pictures... using math!

Lynx

Lately, I’ve been working on a program on Scratch called Lynx. It uses math to draw pictures. I think that this project has a lot of potential, and I may try turning it into a program for Windows.

Why Lynx is worth checking out

One of the coolest things about Lynx is that you have a lot of freedom. You can change several settings to make your image unique. Here are some of the reasons why I think Lynx has a lot of potential:
  • ​It’s a lot of fun: It’s really fun to play around with all of the features in Lynx.
  • It’s interesting to see what you can create: Many people like to push the limits of things, especially with technology. See what you can create with Lynx!
  • It’s free: Do I really need to say more?
  • It is useful for education: If you are learning coordinate graphs, Lynx can help you understand how they work.

The Conclusion

That’s what I’ve been working on! If you enjoy math and drawing, then you should try out Lynx. Even if you’re not, I’d encourage you to check it out. If you want to try out Lynx, click the button below.

What's in John's Backpack? (EDC)

I may no longer be a computer science major, but I'm still fascinated by electronics of all kinds. That's why I take great pleasure in writing about my "everyday carry," that being the devices that I regularly take along with me. These are often being swapped around, as I am an enthusiast at heart, but some of these have stuck around for a long time. So, here's the list: Phone: iPhone 15 Pro (128 GB) It's a very nice phone. That's about all I have to say about it. Like most people, I'm pretty apathetic toward iPhones. I prefer iOS for my needs, and it does what I need it to. 'Nuff said. Laptop: MacBook Pro 14" (2023, M3) I feel bad for my MacBook Pro. It gets tossed around in my bag, is constantly being used, and has a fair few battle scars. But it keeps on going. This laptop has gotten me through college thus far, and I'm hoping I won't have to replace it for a few more years. Watch: Apple Watch SE (the newest one) I swear that this i...

I love my Instax Mini SE. Here's why!

Hey, folks! I did it. I finally got into instant photography. And I love it. Admittedly, I've had some experience with instant photography before now. I got my first instant camera at a thrift store in 2022. It was a Polaroid OneStep from the 90s, and while film was still readily available for it, it was far too expensive to justify using it regularly. As cool as instant photography was, I accepted that it wasn't economically viable for me and moved on. ...Until about a month ago! On one of my first dates with my girlfriend, she introduced me to her Fujifilm Instax Mini 11. It was a much more compact and modern instant camera than my Polaroid. It also used smaller film slides. This was a big deal, as she informed me that the smaller film came at a smaller price. I was intrigued. A couple weeks later, I ventured to Walmart and splurged. I picked up the cheapest Instax they sold: The Mini SE. It only cost about $57, and it came bundled with 10 slides of film. I also picked up an ...
