Reply to this commentIt's not very interesting if it's not a real harmonograph. There's much better computer generated art programs out there.
Reply to this commentThat's look like one of the old screensavers of Windows (I think it still exists in WinXP).

Reply to this commentIt seems to explicitly reject browsers other than Chrome -- If HTML 5 splinters into platform specific versions , what's the point?

Reply to this commentY'all are all nutz! This thing IS perfect in its simplicity! Don't over think things just because you think your IQ might be a little higher than average, and I stress the word MIGHT. If you think that this thing would be cooler, done a different way......just do it, silly boys. I'll be interested in seeing your work! I'm sure it will be perfect just the way they turn out too. Go for it! Talent is dripping from the cyber walls and ceilings! ; * ) God Bless!!!
Reply to this commentI feel like I can make it switch directions, like the famous ballerina experiment.
Reply to this commentI agree with ah. Interactive experiments are usually the most interesting.
Reply to this commentI really like this experiment mainly because he gave the source code in the same window along with all the critical information. I also think it needs some user variation to be perfect.
Reply to this commentNeat idea. I think it could be even cooler if the user could vary some of the parameters for the equations.
Well done though!
