📖

How this works

Every hexagon is 6 sides with a 60° right turn between them. Then between hexagons we rotate by only 30° — half a turn — so each new hexagon overlaps the previous one at a fresh angle, building up a 12-pointed rosette.

Your turn — try these

1Change `right(30)` to `right(15)`. What happens?
2Try `right(60)` — now they all draw on top of each other. Why?
3Change the side length from `60` to `range(30, 90, 5)` — grow the hex each round.
