The Ramer–Douglas–Peucker algorithm (aka "iterative end-point fit algorithm"), takes a curve composed of line segments and reduces the fidelty to a "lower fidelity" curve with fewer points.

#159 — Simple Pendulum Simulation
Choo choo! In this challenge, I build on chapter 3 (Oscillating Motion) of the Nature of Code series and simulate a simple pendulum in p5.js via angular acceleration.

recursion
In this coding challenge, I explore the concept of recursion to create fractal patterns in JavaScript HTML5 canvas with the p5.js library.
In this Coding Challenge, I code a Context-Free Grammar text generator from scratch. The concept of recursion is explored. This video is part of Session 7 of the "Programming from A to Z" ITP class.
Choo choo! In this multi-part coding challenge, I create a maze generator using a depth-first search algorithm with recursive backtracking. The idea is to walk through a grid of cells, removing walls as we go to build a maze.
