  //rationale: So, I got inspired by my Purple Rain poster that hangs from my ceiling and I wanted to make something that looked like falling raindrops because that is what I envision every time I listen to the title song. 

//I knew that the primary shapes in the raindrop would be triangles and circles(ellipses) but I did not feel confident I knew how to combine the two. 

//In my head that seemed like an easy task to figure out on my own...As you can see, I quickly realized that it was not easy, 

//and that I clearly did not learn slope in the sixth grade, because the lower right and left corners did not want me to be great. 

//Nonetheless, I still wanted to learn how to combine the shapes to make a raindrop, so I watched a lot of other codes, and found mrbombmusic's code, that showed step by step how he created the triangle and cirle, 

//and merged the two together. So I used his model, then I needed to figure out the math to understand how to place each drop on different coordinates on my canvas. 

//As you can see, I made...a raindrop and was very confused on how to duplicate the dimensions of mrbombmusic shape on different coordinates and had a very hard time 

//finding other coordinates. I tried using the pi degree chart but it was not easier to understand. I played with the numbers in a range from 1-400 and finally was able to come up with the monster raindrop that you see in the middle. 

//The color pallete is purple because Prince's aesthetic is purple. Overall, I don't think this looks awful but it's not what I thought it would turn out to be and if anyone has any pointers that is welcomed. Thanks.
