Babylonian spiral

From Rosetta Code
Babylonian spiral is a draft programming task. It is not yet considered ready to be promoted as a complete task, for reasons that should be found in its talk page.

The Babylonian spiral is a sequence of points in the plane that are created so as to continuously minimally increase in vector length and minimally bend in vector direction, while always moving from point to point on strictly integral coordinates. Of the two criteria of length and angle, the length has priority.

Examples

P(1) and P(2) are defined to be at (x = 0, y = 0) and (x = 0, y = 1). The first vector is from P(1) to P(2). It is vertical and of length 1. Note that the square of that length is 1.

Next in sequence is the vector from P(2) to P(3). This should be the smallest distance to a point with integral (x, y) which is longer than the last vector (that is, 1). It should also bend clockwise more than zero radians, but otherwise to the least degree.

The point chosen for P(3) that fits criteria is (x = 1, y = 2). Note the length of the vector from P(2) to P(3) is √2, which squared is 2. The lengths of the vectors thus determined can be given by a sorted list of possible sums of two integer squares, including 0 as a square.

Task

Find and show the first 40 (x, y) coordinates of the Babylonian spiral.

Stretch task

Show in your program how to calculate and plot the first 10000 points in the sequence. Your result should look similar to the page at https://oeis.org/plot2a?name1=A297346&name2=A297347&tform1=untransformed&tform2=untransformed&shift=0&radiop1=xy&drawlines=true".

J

It's convenient, here, to use complex numbers to represent the coordinate pairs.

Implementation:

<lang J> require'stats' bspir=: {{

 r=. 0
 e=. 2>.<.+:%:y
 for_qd.
   (y-1){.(</.~ *:@|) (/:|) (#~ (=<.)@:*:@:|) j./"1 (2 comb e),,.~1+i.e
 do.
   d=. ~.(,+)(,-)(,j.);qd
   ar=. 12 o. -~/_2{.r
   ad=. (- 2p1 * >:&ar) 12 o. d
   -r=. r, ({:r)+d{~ (i. >./) ad
 end.

}} </lang>

Task example:

<lang J> 4 10$bspir 40

   0   0j1   1j2   3j2   5j1   7j_1   7j_4   6j_7  4j_10  0j_10

_4j_9 _7j_6 _9j_2 _9j3 _8j8 _6j13 _2j17 3j20 9j20 15j19 21j17 26j13 29j7 29 28j_7 24j_13 17j_15 10j_12 4j_7 4j1

 5j9  7j17 13j23 21j26 28j21  32j13   32j4  31j_5 29j_14 24j_22

</lang>

Also:

<lang J>

  require'plot'
  plot bspir 40
  plot bspir 1e4

</lang>

There's an online example of these two cases here (follow the link, select the right pane, then hit control-R or select Edit Run > All Lines from the menu, this might take a couple seconds, depending on your machine, and this url may need to be updated in the future).

This could be made significantly faster with a better estimator (or with a better implementation of J compiled to javascript).

           xy.append((a, b))

   Get the points for each step along a Babylonian spiral of `nsteps` steps.
   Origin is at (0, 0) with first step one unit in the positive direction along
   the vertical (y) axis. The other points are selected to have integer x and y
