# CirclesInTransport

For ***MinaCoding2025*** Prompt 1: **Circles**, I decided to code a circleful sketch through **Tixyland** named **CirclesInTransport** that takes the tixyland code and layering it upon itself. While the audio is coded in **SonicPi,** which is composed using the **“Nine-Point Circle”** and then edited a bit more after.

## Poem

```ocaml
Circles Moving
Moving Circles
In their own journey
Through their own obstacles and hurdles
These circles are moving
Some are slow and some are in a Hurry
```

## Code

### Tixyland Code

```javascript
i * hypot(sin(t),cos(x))% y
```

### SonicPi Code

```ruby
live_loop :circling do
  
  a = dice(5).to_f
  b = (dice(10) + 10).to_f
  c = ((dice(10) - 12).to_f).abs
  
  puts a,b,c
  
  use_random_seed Time.now.to_i
  
  #points of the triangle
  Points = [[a,a],[b,c],[a,c] ]
  
  # the nine point Circle comes from this circle
  Midpoints = [[((b-a)/2).abs,((c-a)/2).abs],[((b-a)/2).abs,c],[a,((c-a)/2).abs]]
  
  puts Midpoints[0]
  puts Midpoints[1]
  puts Midpoints[2]
