Coding Challenge #37: Diastic Machine
The Diastic technique is a methodology and algorithm for generating found poetry from a source text. It was developed and used by poet / artist Jackson Mac Low. In this challenge, I generate diastic poems using p5.js. Code: https://thecodingtrain.com/challenges/37-diastic-machine
