This applet draws a type of path mathematicians
call a worm; this particular type of worm is called a spirolateral. |
|
Spirolateral worms are characterized by having a
certain degree angle associated with their turns, a certain number of turns
they take, and a certain number of iterations to perform. |
|

|
awt GUI objects were used to make an interface. |
|
A paint method and an ActionListener are used to
draw, and then redraw the spirolateral. |
|
Math.sin() and Math.cos() are used to find the x
and y postitions of the end point of an angled line. |
|
for loops and switch-case blocks provide the
iterating and color changing functionality. |
