Chaikin Curve Animation

Overview

This project lets you draw points on a canvas and visualize a curve generated by Chaikin's algorithm. The curve is smoothed step by step, and the animation runs for 7 steps before restarting.

Features

Click to Add Points: Click on the canvas to add control points.

• Animation: Press Enter to start the animation and smooth the curve.

• Clear Points: Press Delete to remove all points.

• Exit: Press Escape to close the app.

Requirements

• Rust: Install Rust from here.

• macroquad crate: Used for window handling and rendering.

How to Run

Create a new Rust project:

Copy
Edit
cargo new chaikin_curve
cd chaikin_curve
Add macroquad to Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
macroquad = "0.3"
Replace the contents of src/main.rs with the provided code.

Run the project:

cargo run
Usage
Click on the canvas to place control points.

• Press Enter to start the animation and smooth the curve.

• Press Delete to clear all points.

• Press Escape to exit the app.

Chaikin's Algorithm Chaikin’s algorithm smooths the curve by generating new points between each pair of existing points. The process is repeated for 7 steps to refine the curve.
