This is a curiosity project, which I threw toghter. It allows you to visualize how waves from multiple wave generators interfere with each other. The original idea behind this repo was to see how high frequency waves from Tesla coils might interact with each other.
You will need Python 3 installed. Then run pip install -r requirements.txt
There are some variables at the top of main.py, which you can "twiddle".
Then just execute main.py. A separate PNG file will be saved to the
project's root directory with a filename like the following.
waves-#_sides-#_hertz-#.png
Here are a few of my favorited images, which it generated.
This one shows a V pattern at the top and bottom, which looks like a pattern
I saw formed from very small waves while the wave was washing back out into
the ocean a few weeks ago. Seeing those patterns in the ocean was part of the
reason I wrote this code. I was hoping to reproduce those same patters, which
I have done in this image.
This one just looks cool. You can change the colors around if it is
difficult to look at.
This one has some interesting looking color streaks, which seem to bend
slightly.
