Then, we check if the car has moved past the end of its current road segment.\n- If it has, we increment `currentSegment` to move the car to the next road segment.\n- If the car has moved past the last road segment, we reset `currentSegment` to 0 and the car's x position to 0, effectively teleporting the car back to the start of the first road segment.\n- Otherwise, we set the car's y position to the center of the next road segment.\n- The `display` method is unchanged.

The `createVector` function is a p5.js function that creates a 2D vector from the given parameters.\n- We use the `forEach` method on the `arrowPoints` array to iterate over each point, and pass a function that adds a vertex at the point's position to the shape.\n- The `CLOSE` parameter passed to `endShape` tells p5.js to close the shape by connecting the first and last vertices. This results in a polygon that looks like an arrow.","created_at":"2024-01-22T23:32:53.380757Z","output_tokens":null},{"deleted":0,"code_id":27978,"input_tokens":null,"id":16753,"project_id":443,"sender":"human","message":"no make them curved turn roads that look good","created_at":"2024-01-22T23:33:36.731243Z","output_tokens":null},{"deleted":0,"code_id":27978,"input_tokens":null,"id":16754,"project_id":443,"sender":"ai","message":"Okay, I understand.

This is a random angle between -30 and 30 degrees (-PI/6 and PI/6 radians) that determines how much the road segment curves.\n- In the `display` method, we now check if `turn` is not 0. If it is, we draw a curved road using the `beginShape`, `bezierVertex`, and `endShape` functions. The control points for the Bezier curve are chosen so that the curve starts and ends at the ends of the road segment, and the middle of the curve is displaced by `curve * width` vertically.\n- We draw the middle line in the same way, but without filling the shape.\n- If `turn` is 0, we draw a straight road and a straight middle line as before.","created_at":"2024-01-22T23:33:36.737153Z","output_tokens":null},{"deleted":0,"code_id":27980,"input_tokens":null,"id":16755,"project_id":443,"sender":"human","message":"use p5.js arc ","created_at":"2024-01-22T23:34:26.542982Z","output_tokens":null},{"deleted":0,"code_id":27980,"input_tokens":null,"id":16756,"project_id":443,"sender":"ai","message":"Certainly, we can use the `arc()` function in p5.js to create curved roads.

The parameters of `arc()` function are the x and y coordinates of the center of the circle, the circle's width and height, and the start and end angles of the arc.\n- We calculate the center of the circle by averaging the starting and ending x and y coordinates.\n- The radius of the circle is half the distance between the starting and ending points.\n- We calculate the starting and ending angles using the `atan2()` function, which returns the angle from the center of the circle to a given point.\n- If `turn` is 0, indicating a straight road, we draw a rectangle as before.","created_at":"2024-01-22T23:34:26.549538Z","output_tokens":null},{"deleted":0,"code_id":27984,"input_tokens":null,"id":16757,"project_id":443,"sender":"human","message":"the arcs are static","created_at":"2024-01-22T23:35:51.032205Z","output_tokens":null},{"deleted":0,"code_id":27984,"input_tokens":null,"id":16758,"project_id":443,"sender":"ai","message":"I understand the problem.
