I am pleased with the final result. For those familiar with Los Angeles, they could make out locations such as Downtown, The Valley, and where the oceans and mountains must be.
After the last class, it was clear that I need to make my project a real time animation rather than a still print. I also changed the attraction force and flocking forces to get a more appropriate "wandering" motion from the particles, rather than orbiting.
I wanted the piece to be reminiscent of how cities look at night viewed from a plan, which informed my color choices. I also plotted the intersections themselves and scaled them by their traffic flow.
