I was scrolling through TikTok a couple of evenings ago (I know, I'm probably far too old to do so, but now and again, there's gold!) and I came across the following video:

Anyway, inspired to give it a go, I worked up a p5 test, and it works!
const points = [
[-75, 130],
[-150, 0],
[-75, -130],
[75, -130],
[150, 0],
[75, 130],
[75, 130],
]
const rand = (int) => Math.round(Math.random() * int)
const width = 600
const height = 600
function setup() {
createCanvas(width, height)
noStroke()
}
function draw() {
background(0)
fill(255, 255, 255)
text(points.length, 50, 50)
points.forEach(point => {
circle(point[0] + (width /2), point[1] + (height /2), 1)
})
populateArray(10000, points)
}
const populateArray = (count, arr) => {
for(let i = 0; i < count; i++){
const target = points[rand(6)]
const source = points[points.length - 1]
const point = [
Math.round((source[0] + (2/3) * (target[0] - source[0]))),
Math.round((source[1] + (2/3) * (target[1] - source[1])))
]
if(points.indexOf(point) === -1){
points.push(point)
}else{
console.info('Duplicate removed')
}
}
}
For some unknown reason, and only every so often, the pattern goes wrong; does anyone have any idea why or how to fix it?
It's fixed now, you can find it here.
