SquaresInOrbits

For this week's Creative Code challenge by @sableraph : “17 Squares”, SquaresInOrbits is visually coded with four layered & edited LiveCodeLab sketches. Each layer contains 17 squares through 11 squares and one cube(which is made up of 6 squares) . Audio is Coded with SonicPi to act as an orbital soundtrack.

Poetry

Celestial Beings made of 17 Squares
Wandering around acting as this space
Is theirs
Within their tiers
Ignoring the others that are there
For this is their space
For their paths in their pace
