Nice kaleidoscope
Friday, March 14th, 2008
I came across a link to a nice flash kaleidoscope application on the internet. You have a kaleidoscope view (depicted to the right) and a drawing board. The drawing board has a rotating radar cursor. You can draw all kind of shapes in on the drawing board in many different colors. Everything that is in the range of the radar cursor is depicted in the kaleidoscope view. It uses mirroring to create a full circle image. You can draw animated shapes, filled shapes, lines, boxes etc.
Just draw some lines and boxes and watch the amazing results. Set the transparancy to 100% to make your lines more visible. This is very nice to play with if you are bored to death. Here is the kaleidoscope. I have to be honest: the kaleidoscope doesn’t beat the line rider.
