Radial Gradient Array

by subpixel

What was a simple array of filled circles is now... dynamic! :o)

Keys:

SPACE = pause/unpause;
(R)andomise settings;
(F)ade shot, V to toggle fade mode;
(T)rail shot, G to toggle trail mode;
(P)attern change (random), O for next pattern in order;
(D)esign (random);
(C)create new design;
(A)ntialias toggle;
[ decrease base fade amount, { minimise;
] increase base fade amount, } maximise;
RIGHT/LEFT = increase/decrease number of circles;
UP/DOWN = increase/decrease coverage;
` (backquote) = switch pixel plotting method

Try pplaying some music and pressing O/P on fairly regular beats, D/F/T on less often beats, and R on more dramatic changes in the music.

Maybe it's just me, but I got sucked into watching this for a while... mind you, I've spent ages twilddling the knobs behind the scenes, so it's been (in some sense) good value. :o)

Have a peek in the code for some exciting calculations for the sizes of the circles and the spacing...

k = 1/2 * sqrt( pi/c ) - 1
D = x / ( n + k(n+1) )
