▲◈ Shapes in L❤️VE ◈▲ ▲ Shapes are around us everywhere in our daily life, especially simple ones such as triangles, squares, pentagons, hexagons, etc. Ever wondered what shapes would be like, if they were in love? This is a question that occurred to me one day while I was studying geometry. Here’s my attempt to answer the question, after I worked on it for over a week. ^^ ▶ 7 pen animations in all, derived from 5 arranged geometrical patterns. ◆ While this project is intended as a visual enjoyment, it can also be a quiz-game. I did the animation in such a way that viewers can get a glimpse of the original patterns. Can you tell what each of these 5 patterns is made of? (Hint: how many triangles, squares, pentagons and hexagons?) Can you guess it? Check the Notes and Credits for the answer! ;) ◆ No worries if you don’t want to be bothered with the quiz. It’s perfectly fine to just watch. This project is meant to be calming and relaxing, not to give viewers stress ^w^ ◈ Feel free to remix this project by adding new patterns and/or animating them in different ways. I’d love to see your creative work! :3

Thank you all so much ! ◈ Please don’t forget to leave a love, if you like it! I’d really appreciate your support ^^ ▲ Special thanks to @senator11 for suggesting this to be featured, and to @NilsTheBest and @25azaho, who also wished to suggest this but saw it had already been suggested xD <33 ▲ Sorry for not being very productive lately. I have a lot of studying to do and can’t spend as much time on Scratch as I wish. Summer break here is never truly a summer break for the majority of students in middle and high schools ;-; ▲ I’m glad that I was able to scrape time in the past week and finish this project. (I have several others that are 70-80% done, but I‘ve been struggling to find time to complete them. :P) As I don’t know if there are mathematical formulas for rendering into digital images the 5 arranged geometrical patterns I chose for this project, it took me a while to figure out how to generate them by coding. Another good part of my effort was to sync the pace and length of each animation with the melodic lines/phrases of the music. In the process of adjusting the timing, I re-played the project and the music dozens of times. Hopefully, the animation on the whole does synchronize well with the music in the end. Thanks so much for viewing! ^.^ ▲ Coding 100% by me. ▲ There are no costumes inside, except for the black print sprites and the letters “Fin”. 99% pen ;D ▲ Music: Love theme from the Italian movie Cinema Paradiso, composed by Ennio Morricone; violin soloist, Itzhak Perlman ·.·´¯`·.·★·.·´¯`·.·★·.·´¯`·.·★·.·´¯`·.·★·.·´¯`·.·★·.·´¯`·.·★·.· ¯`·.·★·.·´¯`·.·★·.·´¯`·.· ・○・●・○・●・○・●・○・●・○・●・○・●・○・●・○・●・○・●・○ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶ ̶̶▼ ◦ ▽ ◦ ▼ ◦ ▽ ◦ ▼ ◦ ▽ ◦ ▼ ◦ ▽ ◦ ▼ ◦ ▽ ◦ ▼ ◦ ▽ ◦ ▼ ◦ ▽ ◦ ▼ ◦ ▽ ◦ ▼ ◊¨⋆¨♡:··:◊¨⋆¨♡:··:◊¨⋆¨♡:··:◊¨⋆¨♡:··:◊¨⋆¨♡:··:◊¨⋆¨♡:··:◊¨⋆¨♡:··:◊¨⋆¨♡:·:◊¨⋆¨♡ Here’s the answer to our little quiz. I included some explanation to the terms for those who are not familiar with them. Hope it helps ^^ ✡ 1st pattern: (from which the first 3 animations derive): 18 congruent pentagons, each with angles of 60, 80, 100, 140 and 160 degrees. Congruent pentagons are pentagons of same shape and size. ✡ 2nd pattern: 1 regular hexagon, 6 regular triangles and 12 isosceles right triangles. A regular hexagon has 6 angles of 120 degrees each; a regular triangle is a triangle with 3 angles of 60 degrees each, whereas an isosceles right triangle has angles of 45, 45 and 90 degrees. ✡ 3rd pattern: 15 squares, which form 3 stars. ✡ 4th pattern: this one is a bit trickier. It is made of squares of 6 different sizes, but, except for the 2 smallest squares, each of the 4 larger squares contain 4 isosceles right triangles. ✡ 5th pattern: 1 square in the center, adjoined by 12 isosceles right triangles. ⁎⁺˳✧༚⁎ ⁺˳✧༚⁎ ⁺˳✧༚⁎ ⁺˳✧༚⁎⁺˳✧༚⁎ ⁺˳✧༚⁎ ⁺˳✧༚⁎ ⁺˳✧༚⁎⁺˳✧༚⁎ ⁺˳✧༚⁎ ⁺˳✧༚⁎ ⁺˳✧༚⁎
