What are some good bullet-hell patterns /w What is the Golden Ratio?

Hello Developers!

I am making a Bullet-Hell game called Nostalgia Nexus and the issue I am facing is that, well, I am new to making Bullet-Hell making games, and when trying to make projectiles, the projectiles directions seem a little off such as a “Circle” pattern having like, 5% or 10% of the circle slightly being lower, not connecting the other part of the circle and so on.

I know some bullet-hell patterns such as; Circles, Swirls, and lines. But what are some other patterns I can use, or those are the only patterns I am stuck with?

Lastly, I heard that in order for creating these patterns, I should learn the Golden Ratio, thanks to a simple google search it is an a ratio between two numbers that equals approximately 1.618. I am still uncertained about what the Golden Ratio is exactly, and how can I use it for creating patterns.

If anyone knows, let me know, thank you. :slight_smile:
