Draw a Diplodocus

More coordinates, longer neck — gentle giant on graph paper.

Plot 50+ coordinates in order, then connect them. A long-necked dinosaur stretches across the page. Coordinates make pictures.

Why it works

Every (x, y) is a point. Connect them in order, and you get a path. Pick the points carefully and that path looks like anything you want.

Try drawing your own creature first: sketch it on graph paper, then list the coordinates. That's how all polygon graphics work — including video games.
