    [–] I'm building a smart infinity mirror, here's the first prototype bleugre3n 2 points ago in smartmirrors

    yeah this was a suuuper janky cardboard proof of concept before I build a frame and mount everything, so everything about it is pretty sloppy right now

    why not both?

    tru

    in this iteration it’s a heptagram, but I wrote the code that generated it, so I think I know how it works

    [–] Incomprehensible 7-Pointed Star bleugre3n 17 points ago in woahdude

    it’s not literally incomprehensible, but it has densely packed, wonky details that I wanted people to focus on. If I titled it “cool star”, I think that would have been overlooked

    I used a language called Processing It’s essentially Java with a bunch of built-in libraries to build and display graphics more quickly

    basically i thought the post about earth and venus rotating around the sun and drawing shapes was cool, so i made my own, then i made it bigger

    Yeah, it’s actually a system of 500 points in circular orbit at incrementally-spaced speeds, where each point draws a line to the point behind it. As the distance between each point increases, it looks like a spiral that “winds up” and forms different shapes (when the positions have a common divisor). Since it iterates over a circular period, theoretically it would “align” into every -gon and -gram, up to 360 sides (however this would require many more points to accurately convey)

    nope. no way

    [–] Incomprehensible 7-Pointed Star bleugre3n 10 points ago in woahdude

    yep! it’s a spiral with 500 vertices

    [–] Incomprehensible 7-Pointed Star bleugre3n -18 points ago in woahdude

    because my brain wants to break it into primitive shapes, and it looks like it’s a combination of triangles and squares, but then... it’s not

    [–] Incomprehensible 7-Pointed Star bleugre3n 62 points ago in woahdude

    pretty much, but the inward spiraling makes it loop around on itself

    [–] Incomprehensible 7-Pointed Star bleugre3n 3 points ago in woahdude

    basically my reaction at first, I was categorizing each shape found within this looping spiral, stopped at this point and was like "ok cool so its like a hexagon but... wait"

    I see something kinda like this, but repeated 7 times (and inexplicably connected)

    This was found within a winding spiral program I am working on, so I’m not sure on the exact angles. However, it is not limited to integer angles, so I would imagine it’s 360/7. That could be one of the reasons it looks so wonky.

    it starts to make (a little bit) more sense when you rotate it and look for symmetries

    [–] Incomprehensible 7-Pointed Star bleugre3n 404 points ago in woahdude

    right?? I was playing with a spiral when this popped up, and I broke for a few minutes

    [–] Incomprehensible 7-Pointed Star bleugre3n 2 points ago in woahdude

    Yeah they’re very similar. Interestingly, seven-pointed stars are most commonly used for Sheriff badges ( I guess because 6-points has religious connotations)

    I thought the Star of David had 6 points?
