Spirograph













spirograph function を使えばパターンはすぐ描けましたが、ダイヤルに思いのほか苦戦してしまいました。なんだか和菓子みたいです。


Spirograph ♪♪ I have been wanting to try this out for a while.

It should have been my personal java project, but got impatient letting my skill catch up with ideas. So ended up doing it in vb.

Gray circles and lines that overlap with colored patterns are the dials and offset points (wholes for pencils). Spirograph function takes care of the offset points that are outside the moving dial. Users have an option whether inside circle or outside one moves. I placed line color in a loop and had a lot of fun!

Nice work. For a twist on an old favorite, how about a 3rd dimensional element making cylinders, toroids and spheres?
