This is a code sketch I did in Processing, an open source programming environment. The blade like objects are made using bezier curves the light is created using semi transparent triangles and circles. All of it is generated by just a couple of lines of code in a for loop. It is nothing exciting visually, but I am pretty proud of the lighting effect using the triangles, not bad for my first programmed art.
I will make the focal point move with the mouse next, then have it be controlled by the Arduino UNO.
