Kaleidoscope simulator

Post by Shaun_B »

Here's a Kaleidoscope simulator in BASIC. I made some small alterations to the original:

Press any key but SPACE, 0 and V to 'turn' the Kaleidoscope.
Press 0 to auto-turn.
Press V to clear and start again (stop the auto-turn simulation for clear to work).
Press SPACE to break out.

Regards,

Shaun.

Hi,

I made a version using PRINT AT rather than PLOT; this will work on 2K machines or better.

Edit - I decided to make it 1K to save you the trouble :-)

Regards,

Shaun.

I preferred a square mosaic created by the previous version. Issue 2 works fine but the mosaic is bit overstretched horizontally for my taste.

Anyway, good job!

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback. I could make each version appear to be circular rather than square. Let me think about that one. Should be easy enough.

Regards,

Shaun.
