Happy Accidents
This isn't about my conception, we're not going to get into that... this is about the happy accidents that happen with creative coding.
Sometimes the maths can be really complicated. Sometimes you get confused. Sometimes you make a mistake, and things can go wrong.
And sometimes that ends up being amazing!
When I was trying to make this Chihuly design.

I got the logic wrong and ended up with this Fire Circle instead!

The lesson here is that creative coding isnt like regular UI design. There isnt a right or wrong answer. You cant get it right, you cant get it wrong. The only important part is that you enjoy it! Maybe it's not what was in your imagination, and that can sometimes be even better.
So keep creating, keep enjoying, and enjoy the happy accidents!
