A Wave Making App

I was bored so I made a simple application to render a sine wave into a console window. It was a pretty simple idea so it didn't take very long to do and I soon had this:

While I was making it though I found out a cool artifact of choosing to output into a console window. The screen space that I was using to create the output is defined like this:

        Dim drawLength As Integer = 78
        Dim drawHeight As Integer = amplitude * 2

The granular output of the graph results in some neat looking images when you change the wavelength that I will now share with you.

The last of these being my favourite because it looks similar to the anticline/syncline form of folding rock strata. The last thing that I did was add user input and made a video of scrolling quickly through wavelengths. I thought it was kind of neat how some points seemed to be animated as they slid up and down the screen and were rather predictable relative to their surroundings.
