Hi Everyone,

Made a script for Schuyler, but you should take a look at this. Eric and I made several custom blocks that could be useful to all of you:
‘report the coordinates of a 3d point’ (reporter Block)
‘go to 3d positions’ (command block that takes a point)
‘point to 3d positions’ (command block that takes a point)

This script creates 10 points and then walks from a lower random point to an upper random point:

Playing around with the B:

2D Drawings

1. Scale and rotation of the B

2. Mirroring the B on 2 Axis

3. B Flower: Rotation around the center point

3D Forms

1. Scale and rotation of the B

2. Mirroring the B on 2 Axis

3. Tile B

1. I started off with a J made with a half circle and a line

2. Then I rotated the J four times to create an closed shape.

3. Rotated the 4J around to create a pattern.
