TNT Anim-Spiral

About this app

Our mathematical spiral features the equation: r = k*θ/π

Parameter 'k' influences the 'tightness' of the spiral and as you will find by playing with the other parameters, you can select how many revolutions the spiral can take.

We chose this design first because it can generate some 'weird' optical illusions: Stare it it for a couple of minutes as it spins, then look away at something.

It's creepy! Try it!

The original TNTSpiral app inspired this animated version.

Note: You can learn even more about the TNTSpiral by looking at the source code at it's entry in the past blast grafix library.
