🧙 About The Wizard

Claude's Wizard is a classic moonlit night-scene portrait drawn entirely with SketchWave shape classes — no free-hand paths, no images. Every element of the scene, from the sky gradient to the glowing magic orb, is built from a SketchWave class instance and rendered via drawOnGrid(grid).

🎨 Scene Overview (painter's algorithm — back to front)

SWGradient — dark-blue → dark-indigo sky fill
SWTwoTonedDisk — silver/shadow full moon (slowly rotates)
SWWheel — 8-spoke magical mandala, far-left background (spins)
SWStar ×16 — twinkling stars scattered across the night sky
SWPolygon — Z-shaped golden lightning bolt in the mid-sky
SWGhost — semi-transparent floating ghost (bobs up/down)
SWRectangle — dark green ground strip
SWArch ×2 — rolling green hills (dome arch silhouettes)
SWTwoTonedSquare ×2 — patterned stone floor tiles
SWRoundedRectangle — ancient spell-tome on the ground
SWTriangle — large dark-purple wizard robe body
SWSector ×2 — pointed black shoes peeking from the robe hem
SWCross — gold emblem on the robe (gently spins)
SWSquare — gold belt buckle at the waist
SWStar ×2 — decorative embroidered stars on the robe
SWRectangle — wide flat hat brim
SWTriangle — tall pointed hat cone
SWCircleSegment — gold crescent-moon badge on the hat
SWStar — sparkle star near the hat tip (spins)
SWEllipse — oval skin-toned wizard face
SWArch — white fluffy beard (bowl arch)
SWEyeball ×2 — wizard eyes with magical cyan iris
SWArc ×2 — bushy arcing eyebrows
SWDisk — small circular wizard nose
SWLine — long wooden staff pole
SWRegularPolygon — hexagonal gold jewel on the staff
SWRing ×3 — concentric halo rings orbiting the magic orb
SWArc — rotating arc sweeping around the orb
SWTriDisk — 3-tone glowing sphere (the magic orb)
SWPie — 6-color starburst at the orb (pulses & spins)
SWArrow — frozen energy bolt shooting from the orb

✨ Animation

Press ▶ Start to activate all animations.
Stars twinkle — each with its own phase offset via SWSinusoid.
Moon rotates slowly; the wheel spins; the hat star and robe cross turn.
The magic arc sweeps around the orb; the orb itself rotates its light axis.
The orb sparkle simultaneously pulses its radius and rotates.
The ghost bobs up and down on a slow SWSinusoid wave.

SketchWave Classes: 31 unique classes used: SWColor, SWPoint, SWGrid, SWSinusoid, SWGradient, SWTwoTonedDisk, SWWheel, SWRectangle, SWArch, SWTwoTonedSquare, SWRoundedRectangle, SWTriangle, SWSector, SWCross, SWSquare, SWStar, SWEllipse, SWEyeball, SWArc, SWDisk, SWLine, SWRegularPolygon, SWRing, SWTriDisk, SWPie, SWArrow, SWPolygon, SWGhost, SWCircleSegment, SWRegularPolygon, SWGrid.
Commentary: All shapes drawn in painter's-algorithm order (back→front) using drawOnGrid(grid). Three SWSinusoid instances drive all animation: sinTwinkle (stars), sinSparkle (orb pulse), and sinBob (ghost float). Colors are all HSB via SWColor with a midnight #0a0a1a canvas background covered by an SWGradient sky fill. See 🧙 Claude's Wizard Thoughts for a full chronicle of how each shape class was used and why the library made this scene possible.
