Terra inCognita

'Terra inCognita' is a generative artwork coded with JavaScript and p5js library.

We all know about the Tetris puzzle video game created by software engineer Alexey Pajintov in 1984. In Tetris, players complete lines by moving differently shaped pieces (tetrominoes),
which descend onto the playing field. The completed lines disappear and grant the player
points, and the player can proceed to fill the vacated spaces.

So, the concept idea of 'Terra inCognita' came from this game and an ideal nature shape such
as a hexagon.

For me, the hexagon is an ideal geometric shape that ever existed. A good example will be honeycombs, bees are making an ideal shape of the hexagon to make honeycombs that fit any space.

(You also can make a research about hexagons, our brain uses hexagons, to create maps to navigate
them, also a good example is when you go to the bathroom late at night without turning on
the light)

To get that 3D isometric view I used a hexagon grid to make cube shapes, added monochromatic colors
to give more depth to it and calculate rows and columns to make Tetris shape pieces (tetrominoes).

Over 400 handpicked colors, and an extra feature is you might get Tezos logo-looking shape.

Features:

• Terra Size
• Frame Width
• Background
• Number of Tetris
