Its inspiration:
I was trying to figure out how to make triangle and rectangle and circles and all those simple shapes to seem more interesting. Then I thought What if I make an object up of itself; sort of like inception for shapes). That reminded me of Suerat’s “Sunday Afternoon […]” which is a pointilism style creation. So I set my basis to make a winter scene using a style of pointilism. I tried not to step out of my coding ability by only using basic shapes.

Its special powers:
I also figured I would add a little flare by having my “snowflakes” be randomly dimensioned ellipses. Also, I spent a while developing the code to be relative to the size of the window and the size of the “dots”. This allows for the image to be different each time but always similar, even if the window size or the “dot” size is changed.

Its progress and debugging
There are a few early attempts to see if I was coding right. If something was wrong I would comment out
everything and work my way done the code uncommenting until I found my issues.
