The important thing in making the snowflake is the algorithm. The technique for drawing the shape. Draw the 6 long lines that extend from the center. You might be tempted to draw three straight lines as you would with pencil and paper. But in a program you look for repetition. Start at the center draw one line, return to the center, turn and draw the next line. Continue until all lines a drawn. Next draw the 5 medium sized lines at the end of each long line. Look for repetition again. After you draw the 5 lines make sure you return to the starting point and pointing in the same direction that it was at the start. This is need if the pen is to find its way back to the center When the large and medium lines work, try adding the small lines. |
