Re-imagining of the sketch from which this is forked. Tweaked adjustment parameters, changed rendering to lines instead of circles, added fine-tuned adjustment slider to AngleIncrementA.
Most recent revision:
- added breakpoints for responsive pen opacity based on the minimum radius slider, and a corresponding function.
- Added a slider to adjust the number of iterations before the sketch stops running.
