polyHédronisme ===============
This is a project built to demonstrate the [Conway Polyhedral Operators][1] and their extensions by [George W. Hart][2] and others. It was heavily inspired by some [old code][3] of George Hart's that did much the same in VRML. Additional operators are being added to increase the range of procedurally generated forms possible.
One derives any of a vast family of polyhedral shapes by specifying a core geometric 'seed' and then modifying it with topological and geometrical operators that derive more complex shapes from this base set.
This project was also inspired by the renaissance tome [Perspectiva Corporum Regularium][4] featuring [engravings][perspectiva] by Jost Amman after designs and drawings by Wenzel Jamnitzer.
This uses a bespoke HTML5 canvas renderer, [PEG.js][5] for parsing recipes, and Vite for building and development.
