Fibonacci Sunflower 3 - Click the Green Flag. This version was built to simplify Spiral counting. Each time a Clone is spawned we switch colours. Spirals numbering 8, 13, 21 and 34 (consecutive terms in the Fibonacci Series) can easily be seen. The even ones (8 & 34) are the same colour, the odd ones (13 & 21) are striped. Perhaps "ground-breaking-ly", I contend that Spirals of ALL the Fibonacci numbers from 8 to the maximum exhibited, may well be discernible in a real Sunflower head (not just the obvious 2 near the edge)?
Created by @gregatku for use in Classes for Kids Unlimited. Students can build this project if they wish to, as the code is fairly simple. It is another follow-up to the Fibonacci Spiral exercise. Here we create clones (very large initially) in ever decreasing size. Each clone is spawned after turning the number of degrees that divides the circumference of a circle into 2 arcs that are in the Golden Ratio with each other (the Golden Angle - close to 137.5 degrees).
