Math Mambo Sagadisco

Stage 1: Dance Floor Design

About this stage

Our mambo dancer needs a dance floor with 3 lights flush to it, arranged in an equilateral triangle.

As much as we like coordinate geometry, there's a cool way to get those lights on the dance floor using translated and rotated coordinate systems!

Open the JavaScript source code and see if it makes any sense. It helps if you draw a picture to illustrate the code listed in function drawLightFramework. We wrote some pretty extensive comments to guide you through the process.

Remember, if you need some specs on how Processing works (like details on translated and rotate functions, you can go to the reference material and look up the things that baffle you. There's also a link in the hero area that takes you there too.

Rock on!
