Composable Sheep: The Creative Coding Epilogue
summary
Shows how to draw and animate by plotting points in Compose using Canvas plus animationState and launchedEffect to drive a sketch composable that yields a time value. Builds an Archimedean spiral by converting polar to Cartesian, maps function outputs with lerp/norm/map, makes grids clipped to a circle, smooths spikes with Perlin noise and Kotlin GLM, and paints moving gradients with AGSL runtime shaders on Android 13. All examples run live in the sketch loop.
