The Dragon Curve fractal is created by repeatedly folding a strip of paper in half, then unfolding it to form a curve. In this challenge, I attempt to code an animation of the Dragon Curve forming with p5.js in JavaScript.
The Ramer–Douglas–Peucker algorithm (aka "iterative end-point fit algorithm"), takes a curve composed of line segments and reduces the fidelty to a "lower fidelity" curve with fewer points.
